they say it’s everything

02/03
Located at 10-16 Trenerry Crescent, Rivière
offers a unique address at the banks of
the Yarra, all the while combining inspired
architecture and design from a highly
experienced development team.
A river runs through it
Welcome to Rivière, proving that it is
still possible to experience luxurious yet
affordable Melbourne living, right on the
banks of the Yarra and within a short
commute of the CBD.
Rivière is highly unique. More than just
a new development, this is a whole new
riverfront community in the heart of inner
Abbotsford. Boasting five buildings of
spacious new apartments in one or
two bedroom configurations, all are
meticulously designed and beautifully
finished; all are just 3.5 kilometres from
the CBD.
Rivière’s individually distinct buildings
each have their own architectural
signature, but are linked by a lush
communal outdoor space that flows
down to the Yarra River. This exceptionally
beautiful stretch of the river overlooks
Studley Park, Yarra Bend Park and Dights
Falls and is also positioned just upstream
from the Abbotsford Convent and the
Collingwood Children’s farm.

While you might be forgiven for thinking
yourself in country Victoria, surrounded by
rural beauty, the inner city is also at your
feet. Richmond’s bustling Victoria Street
and Victoria Gardens shopping centre are
only a short walk away. The boutique
fashion and food mecca of Bridge Road is
just a minute further. The MCG is three
train stops away. Flinders Street is four.
The Melbourne Museum, Fitzroy Gardens,
Carlton Gardens, and the renowned
restaurant precincts of Brunswick Street
and Lygon Street are all five minutes to
the North. Federation Square is a ten
minute bike ride on the beautiful Yarra city
trail. Rivière is literally on the doorstop of
all that is dear to Melbournians and that
which they love about Melbourne.
But it’s not just about lifestyle. Rivière
also enjoys unparalleled access to
infrastructure networks. The Epworth and
St Vincents hospitals, schools such as
Rusden, Xavier, MLC, Scotch College,
and RMIT, Swinburne and Melbourne
Universities are all just a few kilometres
away. It is not surprising that this inner
city haven has become a prime location
for young professionals and young
families. The area has indeed been
targeted for major residential growth
over the next decade, as the demand
for quality apartment living continues
to grow faster than the apartments are
being built. As such, this development is
promised to return high yields as an
investment in the short and long term.
Whether you are planning to live at Rivière
or seeking an investment that assures
financial security for years to come, take
refuge in this cornerstone project that
seeks to raise the bar, setting a new
standard in quality Melbourne living.

14. architecture
artistic view exterior
Rivière is a bold new addition to the
residential landscape that is revitalising
Melbourne’s Yarra riverbank. Inspired by
the manufacturing plants, warehouses
and workers cottages of Abbotsford’s
industrial heritage, this beautifully realised
development is a synthesis of old and new.
Rivière’s five very distinct apartment
buildings are visually linked by an
architectural approach that combines
the materials of this suburb’s proud
history – bluestone and masonry, steel
and red brick – with sharply modern
geometric lines, bright open spaces and
walls of glass that draw the views inside.
And the views are exceptional.
While it is just 3.5 kilometres from the
city, Rivière is literally surrounded by
parks and bushland. This has informed the
architecture just as much as the location’s
manufacturing heritage. Buildings are set
back at the top level and at the perimeters
15. 14/15
to help transition them into the
surrounding environment, particularly
along the gently sloping riverbank.
The spacious internal communal space
is a green oasis of grass and tree-lined
walkways, including a floating timber
sleeper path that circles the iconic
Victorian chimney stack. The colour
palette of the building’s façade grows
progressively lighter as you move closer
to the river. Every element has been
carefully designed to exist in harmony
with the bushland beauty of this
remarkable riverfront location.
The result is a strikingly original inner
city address and a destination in its own
right that takes apartment living to the
next level. Rivière is a celebration of
Abbotsford’s rich and colourful past,
yet provides a window to its future
as a vibrant residential, business and
arts community.

design
Rivière is a modern classic. Encompassing
smart contemporary design, it brings
together the best of a truly historic
location and combines it with the finest
new finishes and features. Well positioned.
Well crafted. Well appointed.
Step inside one of Rivière’s signature
apartments and immediately you’ll notice
the difference. Remark on the sense of
openness that greets you as you enter
the spacious living area with its simple,
elegant lines, integrated entertainment
zone and floor to ceiling views. Let
yourself walk across the original hardwood
floors that warm the space and connect
you to the Yarra bushland just outside.
The spaciousness is again echoed in the
contemporary kitchen design which makes
clever use of light and space to create the
optimum cooking environment.
Every detail has been designed to achieve
one thing: a living space that is as
beautiful as it is functional. One where
past and present exist in harmony. It
can be seen in the raw stone benchtops,
stainless steel appliances, warehouse-style
lighting, and recycled timber features of
the interiors. You see it in the rich wool
carpets of the bedrooms, and in the
Italian tiling and bathroom fittings. The
uncompromising finishes throughout bring
these elements together to guarantee an
outstanding standard of high quality living.
Step outside and the same careful
attention to detail resonates. Rivière’s
beautifully landscaped common area
brings the surrounding bushland into the
heart of this living riverfront community.
With large shaded trees, grassy gathering
areas dotted by seating, it’s a relaxation
space, a meeting point, and a retreat.
