108/76 Knutsford Street, Fremantle WA 6160

In the heart of Freo’s industrial arts quarter, award-winning architecture, refined urban design, and sustainable living have come together as one. Set within the innovative Montreal Commons complex completed in 2024, it’s an impressive street presence that fits right into this creative precinct: sharp angled lines, sawtooth roofs, off-form concrete, and an eclectic mix of recycled bricks draped in layered greenery throughout. As part of the One Planet Living community – and one of the first carbon neutral apartment buildings in Australia – 100% of the building’s energy comes from renewable sources. There’s a rooftop solar PV system that feeds excess energy to a community battery (shared with the rest of the East Village Precinct), water-saving measures, waste management initiatives, and a strong focus on beautiful communal spaces woven throughout for residents to enjoy.

Take the lift to level one or opt for the scenic route via stairs through the skywell and vibrant courtyard gardens. The open-air feel, spatial layout and periphery walkways, nod to the utilitarian feel of a working factory floor, while the natural ventilation and filtered sunlight are wonderfully atmospheric. A leafy screen of trellised greenery introduces the apartment, and inside is nothing but chic, industrial style. Exposed concrete ceilings are naturally cooling in summer, with black-framed glass and the warmth of hybrid-timber floors that flow to a sheltered balcony. With elevated vistas of the golf course opposite, this is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the fresh air as you dine alfresco or unwind with an evening drink.

Anchoring the open-plan layout, the kitchen makes a statement: waterfall-edge island, stone benchtops, kit-kat tiled splashback, and sleek Franke appliances. On one side is a carpeted bedroom with mirrored built-in robes and a stylish bathroom, while on the other is the laundry and master suite with a green outlook of the golf course beyond, twin walk-in robe, and ensuite for two. Ducted and zoned, reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort and outside is a storeroom for personal belongings.

The building itself is incredibly secure with guest intercom, fob-access, gated entry to the underground carpark (with one dedicated car bay), and CCTV cameras in all the common areas, while communal gathering is fostered at every turn. There’s the central courtyard with built-in bench seating, veggie and herb gardens with fruit trees, bike storage zone, and a third-level terrace with a built-in BBQ, kitchenette and huge flatscreen TV, against a backdrop of breathtaking vistas of all the Freo icons – plus, ground floor café Kricket Local within the complex.

The Knutsford community is a creative hub of industrial heritage, modern architecture, and true Freo spirit – and here at Montreal Commons in this exquisite apartment, you’ll find all that and more.
