Renowned architect Tzannes' meticulous craftsmanship intertwines tradition with innovation, evidenced in the distinctive curved brickwork, reminiscent of the iconic NYC art deco era into the 21st century. Tzannes is a leader in the design of the built environment, driven by a curiosity and passion for design excellence. Their work is celebrated for its enduring qualities and traditional construction methodology, demonstrated through the ‘built to last’ ethos of No.1 Onslow Place.
Marking his inaugural foray into luxury boutique apartments in Sydney, No. 1 Onslow Place boasts interiors meticulously crafted by renowned Australian interior designer David Hicks. His design strikes a harmonious balance between sophistication and functionality, offering world-class amenities and design ingenuity. Each residence consists of its own generously sized private lobby, complete with marble flooring and mirrored wall panelling.
The seamless integration of natural oak, double herringbone parquetry flooring and white-honed marble adorned with tasteful grey and bronze accents lays a refined foundation for the residences, all of which share a consistent design language whilst offering a level of individuality in their approach.

The layout of each residence emphasises fluidity, with the living areas flowing effortlessly into private wrap-around terraces. Large windows allow unobstructed views of the harbour, bridging the gap between the comforts of the indoors and the beauty of the surroundings. Hicks' influence ensures that No.1 Onslow Place's interiors are not only stylish but also accommodating, offering a level of comfort and luxury akin to the finest international hotels.
"No.1 Onslow Place was designed not just as a development, but as six distinct and individual living
spaces," says Nick Couloumbis, Founder, Toohey Miller.
“Toohey Miller has curated its consultant team, bringing David Hicks’ European and International flair, combined with Tzannes’ quintessentially Australian architecture, to create an environment that resonates with the legacy of the location while offering a fresh perspective on luxury living.”

“These residences are incredibly rare given their full-floor offering and views - we liken them to a Monet or Picasso. Rarity in property equals exceptional enduring value to future owners.
“Elizabeth Bay has some of the most beautiful views of the harbour. Perched so high, the elevated position of No.1 Onslow Place showcases views that are nothing short of spectacular. Every residence has an incredible view, four with two aspects, so residents can enjoy the tranquility of this picturesque pocket of Sydney. With Arthur McElhone Reserve across the road, juxtaposed by the energy and amenity of Macleay Street, a cosmopolitan playground housing Sydney’s best restaurants and retail stores, Elizabeth Bay has multifaceted allure.”
