A low-rise apartment village in Erskineville, Sydney’s Inner West, designed with a European sensibility of community-oriented apartment living.

-
Responding to changing Sydney demographics and a maturing of the market, we set ourselves a challenge to create a series of apartments, 76 in total, offering all the things people expect from a large family home, in a more compact form.
-
Winner of the state’s highest architectural honour, the Aaron Bolot Award for Multi-Residential Architecture.
-
It’s designed not just as a building, but a generous addition to the streetscape, with a rich composition of materials and strong form. A robust façade of concrete, brick and steel is complemented by a gentler interior palette.

-
In many ways it’s designed from the inside out, from the point of view of privacy and light.
-
-
Internally, the design began from the viewpoint of how people want to live, so each home seamlessly connects to an outside space – infusing it with natural light, breezes and maximising views. A generous communal green space includes an outdoor roof terrace with herb gardens, yoga platforms and covered dining spaces.
