Architectural Design
Architecturally, the Berkeley Building at Ashleigh Oakridge is anything but ordinary. Its design takes inspiration from the distinct vertical shapes of ancient basalt stones, with three architectural forms unified yet different. The brick-clad buildings are surrounded by green spaces, offering an open atmosphere with ample patio spaces. Ground-level homes are designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, featuring living areas connected to cantilevered balconies, loggia, or terraces.
Wellness and Amenities
The development provides a comprehensive wellness experience with a spa that includes hot and cold plunge pools, a steam room, and a sauna, alongside a fully equipped fitness center. The rooftop area serves as a social sanctuary, perfect for hosting private events with its indoor lounge, dining room, and kitchen.
Interior Design and Features
Inside the homes, the living rooms are designed to be as high impact as they are highly functional. Kitchens feature statement backsplashes and brushed brass or bronze detailing, along with ample storage and customizable appliances. The homes offer a morning and evening color scheme, with features such as a coffee maker and microwave speed-oven combination, a large kitchen island with room for 4-person seating, a statement hood fan, natural stone backsplash and countertop, a 5-burner gas range, a fully-integrated refrigerator, and a full-height pantry.
