Hidden in a bulkhead
Only slim grilles are visible, usually along a hallway or side of the room.
Darling Point apartments are bought for one thing above all: the view across the harbour. The last thing anyone wants is an indoor unit hanging above the window or an outdoor unit sitting in the middle of the balcony.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Darling Point apartments should work around the view, not in front of it. Slim ducted units hidden in a bulkhead, wall splits placed on side walls rather than above the glass, and outdoor units tucked to the edge of balconies or in plant areas keep sightlines clear. We size for the big harbour-facing windows so rooms stay comfortable. Alpha & Omega has installed in Sydney apartments since 1989.
Where each part goes matters as much as which system you choose.
Only slim grilles are visible, usually along a hallway or side of the room.
Indoor units mounted on side or rear walls, blowing across the room.
Placed at the end of the balcony or in a building plant area.
So the system suits both the room and the view.
