Sited between three significant heritage buildings in Parnell, One Saint Stephens earns its place in this category through both the quality of the interior life it creates and the statement it makes from the street.
Living spaces positioned at the building’s edge to maximise expansive views, generous terraces carved into the form to provide privacy and a genuine sense of enclosure, and the consistent use of enduring materials throughout produce apartments that feel calm, considered, and quietly sophisticated. At the same time, the symbiosis it creates with its surrounding, heritage neighbourhood is commendable.
This is residential interior design that understands its context deeply: unhurried, substantial, and built for the long term.
One Saint Stephens by +MAP Architects in association with Lukas Design received Highly Commended in the Residential Category of the Interior of the Year Awards 2026.
