Occupying one of Perth’s most coveted stretches of riverfront, Rivière Residences in Applecross sought to redefine premium waterfront apartment living. Developed by Edge Visionary Living and designed by Hillam Architects, the three-building development enjoys approximately 100 metres of river frontage, capturing uninterrupted views across the Swan River towards Perth City and Kings Park. Comprising 217 sophisticated residences across the East, Central and West buildings, Rivière has been designed to foster a sense of community and connection while embracing its exceptional waterfront setting.

Thoughtfully crafted by Hillam Architects, the buildings of Rivière feature stepped sections and curved corners, creating view corridors between the buildings while softening their presence to complement the existing Applecross skyline. The buildings are connected by a shared amenities podium on Level 3, inspired by the local rock formations along the banks of the Swan and Canning Rivers. The result is an architectural design that feels intrinsically connected to its unique riverside landscape.

The feeling of considered luxury extends to the residences themselves, each featuring soaring 2.85 m ceilings and expansive windows with full-height double glazing to maximise views. Premium materials, Gaggenau appliances, custom cabinetry and carefully detailed bathrooms reinforce the quality of the interiors. The crowning jewel is the penthouse collection, perched atop Rivière's top floors. These exceptional residences combine grand proportions of up to 569 sqm with panoramic views of the city skyline. The penthouses’ open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly onto generous balconies through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, creating a natural connection between the home and the riverfront setting. Bespoke inclusions, including walk-in wine storage and a dedicated caterer’s scullery, elevate the entertaining experience, while a premium suite of fully integrated Gaggenau appliances features throughout. In the master ensuites, underfloor heating and a freestanding bath add a considered layer of indulgence.

Together, the three buildings of Rivière will set a new benchmark for luxury residential living in Perth.
