The Waterside Apartments are the first stage of a new residential precinct on the western shores of Lake Ginninderra within the Belconnen Town Centre. The design is distinctively modern with clean lines achieving a special identity and sense of place. The 60 unit residential / retail project optimises density while providing an elevated landscaped garden court as the focus and main address point for the residential component of the development.
The garden is designed as an extension of the lakefront Casuarina Park and forms the forecourt to the project, providing most residences with a landscaped vista to the lake. Private courtyards are located around the circumference of the central garden court and provide mediation to the height of the buildings. Commercial space opens onto a street level piazza, designed to capture sunshine and provide an attractive space for alfresco dining on Beissel Street. The result is a development in Belconnen which offers a convenient urban lifestyle.
The design of Waterside responds to a difficult site by providing an innovative urban planning solution. The site is bounded by three roads and the Swim Australia building to the north. It also has a steep cross fall and busy traffic on Emu Bank and Luxton Streets. The project achieves an active retail frontage as well as a private and quiet resident’s garden plaza forming the heart of the development.
Waterside provides a high level of on-site amenity to residents. The central landscaped garden court provides a common link and entry plaza to all apartments and provides a visually attractive and usable recreation area which encourages interaction between residents and promotes access to the commercial and retail shopfronts. The majority of apartments have lake views, northern living spaces and are designed to optimize natural cross ventilation. Articulated balconies shade these areas during summer and provide useable private outdoor spaces. External materials are restrained and robust, comprising charcoal stained ‘ecoply’, metallic ‘miniorb’, split faced blockwork and natural timber. They form a textural composition that clearly articulates the building form and distinguishes the different apartment types. Each of the 60 apartments achieve a 5 star energy rating.
Waterside Apartments offer an exciting and innovative approach to contemporary urban living and they make an important contribution to the new western shores residential precinct.

The building has recently undergone a significant upgrade, with the installation of double glazed window suites and black cladding to complement the original brick colour tones, creating an attractive modern twist on 1970’s architecture.
An award winning louvre design provides a colourful and unique contrast to the eastern side of the building while reducing the glare and heat impact of the early morning sun.

Sited on the western edge of the CBD, The Barrandi Centre at 16 Marcus Clarke Street presents a dramatic and award-winning piece of architecture. Built in 2009, this precinct offers its tenants an “A” Grade office space with efficient floor plate size, high quality base building amenities and high efficiency plant and services.
Sustainability is central to The Barrandi Centre’s design, with the building receiving a 5 Star Green Star Rating following construction and maintaining an excellent 5 Star NABERS Rating during the majority of its operation. This can be attributed to the north facing precast concrete-clad side core design acts as a solar screen, reducing the thermal load from direct sunlight during peak hours of the day, combined with efficient lighting and air conditioning services and careful building management.
The Barrandi Centre features a floor to ceiling articulated curtain-wall construction, which allows for an abundance of soft southern natural light and offers clear views of Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin from its upper levels. Its efficient central built zone offers clear span office environments, as well as outstanding horizontal and vertical connectivity.
