First Light

First Light, a mixed-use building at 28-32 Albert Road in South Melbourne, is setting a new benchmark for luxury living in Australia. In a groundbreaking convergence of art and architecture, First Light is a masterpiece of elegance and privacy, transcending conventional design through the visionary talents of Philippe Starck, Léo Terrando, Boffi, Miele, Temple Spa, and Space.

Each residence is a canvas of sophisticated design, complemented by world-class amenities: a wellness sanctuary, gourmet dining, and bespoke services, all nestled within the vibrant Domain Precinct in Melbourne, where you are at the doorstep of the Royal Botanical Garden and the Albert Park for F1 racing.

On Levels 1 to 9 of the building are 97-key hotel rooms branded by Yoo (founded by Philippe Starck and John Hitchcox), and on Levels 10 to 26 are 35 luxury apartments.

Designed by Leo Terrando, the residences’ interiors stand out from other apartments in the area. Residents will be preparing meals at a Boffi kitchen island, using the top range of appliances from Miele, and walking on travertine stone flooring. Units are equipped with a massive storage space in elegant and contrast finishes like black timber, matte metallic veneer, stainless steel, and powder-coated stainless steel.

Serviced by the first By Yoo hotel in Australia, residents enjoy a full range of concierge services, from grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, maintenance, and 24/7 dining to more premium needs like a private chef, travel bookings, transfers, art curation, furniture atelier services, and more.
