Welcome to Willoughby Grounds

Hidden away on a quiet cul-de-sac, free from the hustle and bustle, Willoughby Grounds offers a private, green space for you to call home. This is a place welcoming new life to the lush Lower North Shore. Set in the thriving heart of the green spine that connects the Lane Cove River and Middle Harbour, there’s an abundance of scenic bushwalks, cycling and running paths, as well as parks and playgrounds all within reach.

A Home Working In Harmony With Its Surroundings

With towering canopy trees, carefully considered landscaping, and welcoming pockets of open green space, Willoughby Grounds is enveloped by organic beauty. Modern, vibrant, and imaginative, Willoughby Grounds is home to 164 units featuring one, two, and three-bedroom options. These are spread out comfortably across five individually designed buildings, designed to allow the natural beauty of Willoughby to enhance your comfort at home. Discover an abundance of shared outdoor areas in which to live, breathe, and play.

Designing Willoughby’s Natural Neighbourhood

The architecture of Willoughby Grounds is inspired by the expansive green spaces, undisturbed plant and animal life, parks, and sports grounds throughout Willoughby and its neighbouring suburbs. Architecture Urbaneia’s creative director, Mo Chehelnabi, says his team, with its extensive experience integrating new spaces into the Lower North Shore, worked hard to ensure the new addition to the community contributes positively to the place and to Willoughby.

Willoughby has a proud history as a home to hard-working farmers, tradesmen, and artisans. Locally based interior designers DKO have paid homage to that heritage by combining the past with modern-day style and amenity. “We wanted to represent an era of development in which even the most minute details are paid attention to. Where there’s an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality that flows through the project – from planning, to design and construction,” DKO interior designer Michael Drescher says.

The landscaping of Willoughby Grounds was designed with the community in mind – more space for more people to enjoy together. By incorporating these open areas, landscape architect John Lock hopes to create a thriving environment alive with possibility. “Rather than having lots of small spaces, we wanted to really maximise those green fingers between the buildings and between the residences and the street,” John says
