Dova’s interiors are generous in scale yet intimately detailed. Every space, every corner, every finish is a considered balance of form and function.
Design
Inspired by Mount Eden’s heritage, charm and eclectic character, Dova’s architecture is a timeless yet modern expression of its neighbourhood.
Design, considered from every angle
Dova has been thoughtfully designed to feel grounded in its surroundings while offering a contemporary way of living. Set at the meeting point of Dominion and Valley, the architecture responds to the established character of Mount Eden — respectful in scale, refined in detail, and designed to age gracefully over time.
Rather than a single building, Dova is composed of three architecturally distinct forms. Each has its own identity and outlook, carefully positioned to maximise light, privacy and connection, while together creating a cohesive neighbourhood anchored by a shared central garden.
Three buildings — one considered community
Dova is defined by its three architecturally destinct buildings (Dominion, Valley and Carrick), which together create visual interest and a sense of individuality while forming a cohesive whole.
A private green sanctuary at the heart of Dova
At the centre of the development is The Common, a 960sqm landscaped residents’ garden with a shared pavilion designed as an extension of each home.
Apartments designed for modern living
Homes at Dova are carefully considred and crafted for modern living, with layouts that prioritise functionality, comfort and long‑term ease rather than excess.
Private homes connected to shared green space
Dova’s design blurs the line between private apartments and shared outdoor environments, with homes enhanced by proximity to gardens, pavilion spaces and landscaped grounds.
A well‑run building that supports everyday ease
Dova emphasises quality management and clear resident guidelines, with a dedicated building manager, maintained shared spaces and a body corporate designed to protect long‑term liveability.
Design that supports how people actually live
Features include secure mail room, bike storage, basement car parking with number‑plate recognition and pet‑friendly planning — all integrated into the building design rather than treated as afterthoughts.
Design that balances city energy with retreat
Across all materials, Dova’s design is positioned as urban yet calm - architecture and landscaping working together to create a peaceful retreat within a highly connected city‑fringe location.
Built to last
Robust materials and considered design choices — including concrete construction and double glazing — deliver enduring comfort and quality you can feel every day.
Pet friendly
A place for the whole family — furry friends included — with thoughtful body corporate guidelines designed for the comfort of pets and neighbouring residents alike.
Architecture with purpose
Designed by Ashton Mitchell, Dova’s architecture brings together elegant forms, warmth and texture. Carefully chosen materials and building placement maximise light, privacy and outlook, creating homes that feel calm, enduring and well resolved.
“Mount Eden has such an eclectic mix of buildings, many with nostalgic value. Dova’s design needed to be sympathetic but not imitative; a modern, refined and elegant contribution to Mount Eden’s next chapter.”
Clifford Paul, Director at Ashton Mitchell
The Common
At the heart of Dova is The Common: a thoughtfully landscaped collection of central green spaces exclusively for residents. Designed as an extension of your home, The Common brings daily opportunities to work, meet, recharge and enjoy the outdoors your way.
Dova is targeting a Homestar 6 Star rating (v5)
Driven by thoughtful design choices that prioritise health, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Double glazed windows
Double glazing enhances thermal comfort and significantly reduces noise, creating a quieter indoor environment. By helping to regulate temperatures naturally, it also reduces the need for heating and cooling — delivering comfort through every season.
Water efficiency
Dova’s efficient fixtures and appliances help reduce water use, supporting a lighter environmental footprint. The result is meaningful resource savings and noticeably lower household costs.
EV chargers
EV charging infrastructure is integrated into the basement carpark, supporting electric vehicle use and reducing emissions. It’s a future-focused feature that enhances everyday convenience at home.
Number plate recognition
Automated number plate recognition allows approved vehicles to enter the garage without interruption — a secure, convenient bonus for ease of living.
Air flow & ventilation
Designed for optimal airflow, each apartment benefits from natural ventilation and efficient heat pumps — creating a comfortable living environment that supports wellbeing.
