The developers brief was to design a sensitive yet iconic building flexible enough to serve both a strata unit residential and serviced apartment development.

The approach was to address all frontages with articulated forms that responded in the main part to the adjacent park area. The frontage addresses the entrance to the development and reinforces the edge to both the school and the park beyond.

The result is a lightweight building with an articulated tectonic. The building is sensitive to the immediate competing scales of its context and the environment. A material palette that reinforces the deliberate articulation also enhances the buildings form.
