Designed by Room 11 and curated by Moda, we proudly introduce 9 Sandy Bay Road, Hobart. A collection of twenty-eight individually designed residences inspired by the natural elements of Tasmania; elemental, raw and simply remarkable.
St.David celebrates all that has come before, but looks to the future – promising to further enhance Hobart’s reputation as the new centre of design excellence in Australia.

1.0_ Architecture
A contemporary, cosmopolitan edge to inner city living
A multi-residential building with genuine, outstanding integrity across architecture, engineering, industrial fabrication and construction. Across the façade, strong and muscular elements are balanced with moments of delicacy and refinement.
2.0_ Interior Design
Individually designed, bespoke Room 11 homes
‘Completeness and absolute integrity’ is how Thomas Bailey, lead architect and designer of St.David, describes the interiors. It promises to be a beautifully balanced palette of materials used in a direct but tactile way, translating into an atmospheric, visual experience.
As a reminder of ‘Industrial Tasmania’, most residences showcase ceilings featuring ‘coffered’ off-form concrete, akin to a ‘raw grid’ that sails through the spaces and provides logic as to how the building has been constructed. Above all, each material is honest and robust, including the warmth of engineered Tasmanian Oak flooring, polished stone and folded metalwork.
2.1_ A World-Class Penthouse
Pushing the boundaries on design and engineering
Sheer in size and occupying the entire 510sqm of the top floor, the St.David penthouse makes the grandest statement of all – a world-class residence beyond anything ever built in Hobart. It pushes the limits with a unique cantilever, uninterrupted views in every direction, a vast gallery style layout and a large reflection pool.

3.0_ Introducing Room 11
No ordinary architecture practice
Having first formed alongside the easels at art school, rather than the draughting desk, Room 11 have built a stellar reputation for exquisite, progressive architecture. They boast many celebrated projects, engaging with contemporary movement on a world scale.
Their approach is very direct, stripping back characteristics to what is absolutely essential, before coming together to create a powerful, yet intimate, experience of a space – and even more importantly, the experience of the place surrounding it.

4.0_ Inspired by the Elements of Tasmania
Where geological character meets exceptional engineering
St.David is inspired by the rugged Tasmanian landscape; described by lead architect Thomas Bailey as bringing “a distinct sense of ‘raw directness’ that is unvarnised and unpolished, but absolutely beautiful.”

To capture and celebrate this rich source of inspiration, Moda commissioned Adam Gibson, one of Tasmania’s most renowned photographers to travel the landscape and visually document his travels.
