Planning

The development is arranged as two distinct residential buildings set within a carefully designed landscape framework. Building massing, scale and materiality have been informed by extensive contextual analysis, creating a composition that reflects the character of the surrounding neighbourhood while establishing a confident new identity for the site. Commercial units at ground level activate the public realm, while communal roof and garden spaces provide valuable amenity for residents.

Landscape is integral to the architectural approach, with generous planting and shared green spaces connecting the buildings and softening the transition to neighbouring properties. Parking and servicing have been carefully integrated to minimise visual impact, allowing the public realm and residential environment to take precedence. The result is a high-quality, sustainable place to live that combines thoughtful design, strong placemaking principles and a clear response to its context.
