Two multi-unit residential buildings that are arranged around a 2.5 hectare north-facing park. The buildings are of varying height to provide visual interest and achieve appropriate interface, solar access and privacy. The design provides a high-quality but cost-effective multi-unit development with a diversity of unit types to accommodate students, couples, young families and retirees.
The mixture of single and two-storey apartments that make up the nine-storey buildings are designed to passive ESD principles to maximise solar access, ventilation, day-lighting and privacy.
The landscape design responds to the built form and reflects ecologically sustainable development principles to provide a pleasant and safe outdoor living space for residents and the community. The landscape clearly delineates private and public zones. The central park will be secure – accessible only by residents and their guests. A perimeter pathway enables a lengthy walk around the gardens. Podium gardens on Level Two overlook the central park and provide a secondary outdoor space. This area may include BBQs and pergolas.
