Our design acknowledges and continues this site as a gathering place and new living space for the Community of Parramatta with a total of 660 apartments.
Our approach blends innovative residential, commercial, and community spaces, creating a vibrant, cohesive environment that touches country, enhances the human connection to the urban realm, and is designed to improve the liveability of the district for its future community.
Individual – Well considered apartments of various sizes that create a comfortable space with all the necessities of the individual in a compact space.
Neighbourhoods – Apartments mixed across floors combining the small private open space areas of studio and 1 bed apartments into a larger usable common space with connection to greenery, sunlight and natural ventilation.
Community – A variety of inclusive community spaces suitable to the interests of the identified personas. Spaces dispersed through the building rather than grouped in one area providing diversity, flexibility and interest.
The design acknowledges the aspiration for the development to have zero carbon emissions once in operation. The environmental design is an integral principle to the design concept, not a stand alone item.
Additional innovation and stretch goals for consideration have been identified to promote a sustainable healthy building including: Renewable technology, Smart building, Digital connectivity, WELL, Green Star, Net zero emissions in operations, NatHERS – Ave 7 Star, Min 6 Star, and NABERS 4.5 Star Energy, 3.5 or 4.5 Star Water.
