Melrose and the Melrose Arch precinct sit among the city's premium apartment and cluster addresses — floor-to-ceiling glazing, balconies built for entertaining, and buildings where a clean, uniform look from the street matters as much as the view from inside.
Wide balcony sliders with serious afternoon sun exposure are the defining window here, which is why motorised blinds are requested more often in Melrose than almost anywhere else on our books — silent, cordless operation that suits an apartment lifestyle, controlled from a phone whether you're on the couch or already at the office.
Sunscreen roller blinds handle the glare on that same glass without losing the view, and where a building's aesthetic guidelines call for a uniform look, we specify accordingly street-side while keeping the interior choice yours.
Melrose Arch's close-set mid-rise buildings shade the street while upper-floor apartments get full, unobstructed sun — two completely different specifications in one address. We published everything we know about this suburb's sun in The Hyde Park Light Almanac — the December and June sun angles, which elevations suffer and when, what we'd specify on each with the honest trade-off both ways, and the five things only an on-site measure can settle. It is free, ungated and sourced. If you'd rather have a rough number first, the window ledger at the foot of it turns your own rough sizes into a budget range by the next working day.
Building or body corporate rules on window coverings are common in this precinct — tell us upfront and we'll make sure whatever we fit is inside the guidelines as well as right for the room.
