A Minimalist Apartment with Incredible City and Park Views (Apartment Tour)

[@TheLocalProject]

We hope you enjoyed the incredible Aerial by Nexus Designs, a minimalist apartment offering stunning panoramic views of Melbourne! The home is a masterclass in balancing openness, comfort, and intimacy. From the neutral tones that emphasise the breathtaking skyline to the rich, timber-clad library that exudes warmth, every space in Aerial is designed to create a serene retreat from city life. For more of the latest and greatest in architecture and design, be sure to order a copy of our new trio of hardcover books - Habitats: City, Coast and Forest: thelocalproject.com.au/product/habitats-city-coast-forest/

These projects are impressive examples of architecture, but I wish there was more focus on accessible, community-based design rather than just luxury and elegance.

"Minimalist apartment" = whole floor penthouse. I loved the "library" that had about 10 books in it.

[@regulus6936]

Patrick Bateman vibes.

[@markmatthews8675]

I normally don't like places like this (high rise apartments) but I enjoyed seeing this space and at times imagining what day to day life would be like there. Also, I would probably enjoy a lot less furniture and instead enjoy the beautiful negative space that this home offers. Thanks for the video!

Lol at the land acknowledgment

One of the best channel in terms of design and architecture ❤

[@briancanbefound]

Beautifully realised! All details considered against a perfectly simple canvas.

[@gladitsnotme]

Love those floors, and the bathroom wall tile

[@andrew4809]

Looks standard off the plan to me

[@tukkura131291]

I can see a lot of B&B Italia furniture in this apartment. Love the Husk armchair.

[@sutats]

Anything is peaceful from 1353 feet.

[@socalstr]

This apartment is maybe 400-500 feet up. 40th floor. Unless each floor is 34’ high?

[@imianco8079]

gorgeous -- simple - elegant - thoughtful

[@knowledgeeveryday0]

I liked it very much. I really like such simple houses

[@kbstabs5982]

Lovely space but totally un-lived in. Easy to be minimal when there is not the slightest hint of clutter

Cool apartment.

[@gaurangwelling2294]

Where is the skull art installation from?

[@HaiNguyenLandNhaTrang]

Woww. Amazing apartment ❤😊

This is the umpteenth boring box of beige, concrete and wood/veneer.

[@nmbco]

amazing!

[@markiedizz4155]

A very high end and meticulous finish.

I mean it's objectively beautiful from a design perspective but holy moly what a boring apartment. Literally zero color other than beige and white.

[@OSDOENTES]

Almost fell asleep seeing this apartment…

[@sukeshamuthu]

True, however it could be done intentionally as the city views dominate pretty much every angle of this apartment. All the colour and texture is outside, like ever changing art. Keeping the apartment itself minimal allows the skyline to shine. It’s how I see it anyway.

[@rianobagaskara7487]

I think you need to read the title

[@OSDOENTES]

@@rianobagaskara7487 it’s say minimalist not soulless, or unfinished, unlived..

[@Q-bal]

@@rianobagaskara7487 In fact I did read the title, read the whole thing and even watched the whole video. Labeling something "minimalist" doesn't give it a pass for being lazy design. There's very little contrast of any kind and a boring texture palette, with the walls and the floors being almost exactly the same. Going for minimalist fixtures all around feels weirdly at odds with adding soffits everywhere if they're not there to harbor accent lighting. The rounded white hardware in the kitchen feels reminiscent of basic garage cabinetry from a hardware store. Feels like the designer couldn't make up their mind between rounded or straight corners throughout. Weirdly eclectic mix of floor lamp/ceiling lamp choices that don't mesh. You have a soft, fabric style pendant light over the dining table and then harsh, angular chrome floor lamps in the living area. They don't need to be from the same collection but they feel anachronistic in the part of the house that's supposed to be cohesive. And then why chrome outlet covers? If you're going for minimalism, why would you want to draw attention to the most utilitarian thing in the apartment? Makes no sense.

[@phundament]

The apartment looks really nice. I don't know about the views of highways and parking lots though.

[@gladitsnotme]

Lmao they're not going to bulldoze the city. It's a beautiful city view, which is what you want when you live in a city.

[@vinyfiny]

You're being intentionally obtuse; I'm sure you realize a city is more than highways and parking lots. You'd rather see nature? Great. No need to bring down other options though.

[@jarrrrred]

Chill out guys, this space was probably designed following requirements given by the home owner. I'm sure she would've designed it differently. Well executed but so so boring..

[@TheCozz123]

What a dull apartment. Honestly, I am so over colourless interiors and the oak-like finishes. Let's move on from this design style please! Bring in colour, depth and texture.

[@hintex487]

Cool

[@lizasoliman723]

the kitchen & library are very successful, but i find the rest of design ostentatious; gaudy. there's a way to do luxury, but most of this apartment is not it.

[@danceofjimbeam]

yessir!

[@varun_lingamallu]

whoa

[@MazzWeston]

Is this just a staged Blum showroom?

[@ianhamilton530]

I found it to be boring

[@Empwr111]

😮

[@Karim-so9jc]

Nice home. However, it looks unoccupied

[@JBOsurf]

Imagine trying to sell an apartment in Melbourne right now...imagine being dumb enough to buy one...

[@sergiosaunier]

What’s going on in Melbourne?

[@K-MHamm]

@@sergiosaunierdrop bear attacks have increased in recent times

[@serpserpserp]

@@K-MHamm Yeah, a lot of them concentrated in apartments on the 40th floor and above too. It is having a massive impact on livability.
