Project Description::
A six-storey apartment building designed to integrate with the streetscape and existing qualities of Australia’s densest residential precinct. The six apartments, with retail on the ground floor, are arranged not only to maximise views, cross ventilation and privacy but also to generate a form that acts as a transition of scale between two neighbouring historic buildings.
The façade, which can be likened to a mask, is clad in thin copper tiles, which will acquire a patina over time. The double-height apartments have steel bridges connecting the second bedroom with an outdoor balcony, and full-height garage-style operable glass doors provide a valuable extension of the interior to the north. A rooftop glass pavilion accommodates a penthouse.
