The local neighbourhood character is best summarised by single storey, detached residences with 1-2 buildings under construction. Now re-zoned & unrealistic for increased densification, we believe it is important to bring that character through in our facade treatment & overall building envelope.

Currently, a few developments around are under construction, approved, or under review; all of which are six storey, residential flat buildings. With this in mind we made some critical design decisions to appropriately consider the future neighbourhood context. 

The proposal repeats a few times the same modulation along the front and the back facade, giving articulation, variation and rhythm to the facades at the same time.

The East & West elevations have been carefully steeped, articulating the connection to the front and the back facade, as well as, softening the transition to the adjacent buildings.
