Archibald consists of an 18 level residential tower, with 82 luxury apartments, four levels of basement parking and an outdoor terrace on level six. The activated retail ground level nestled in the busy heart of Bondi Junction's CBD offers five commercial and five retail suites.
With its timeless façade, Archibald has dramatically enriched the Sydney skyscape. The graceful pentagonal form and strong vertical lines hint at nostalgic 1930s architecture, while maintaining a bold contemporary edge.
Due to the building’s unique pentagonal geometry, apartments capture a selection of beautiful outlooks, while discreetly maintaining privacy by way of louvred screens. These exceptional outlooks span from the CBD skyscape, across the Eastern Suburbs out to Sydney Harbour, shaping a sensational backdrop for the beautiful residences within.
Being delivered in such a busy area surrounded by major arterial roads that service the bus and rail interchange surrounding the site, this high-rise project was not without its challenges.
