Residential | harbour street

This residential apartment development is located within a short stroll to the major recreation port in the city – Wollongong Harbour. The site is surrounded by a mixture of medium to high density residential developments of various ages. This development capitalises on the local harbour, local recreation spaces and adjacent parklands.

The building contains 8 units over 4 levels with basement parking. The upper units have large roof gardens serviced by a stair with a large void space.

The building form has been derived from local influence of the port, boats and local environment. The form represents a nautical theme which assists to generate a strong architectural intent. The units are situated around a central service core with the core being an anchoring element, which provides a separation between entries, private and open spaces.

The building has been designed to respect the existing context; windows, balconies and private open spaces have been designed and positioned to maintain privacy and amenity to the development as well as adjacent existing properties. The units have excellent solar gain and good cross ventilation reinforced by total separation of each unit; there are no common walls between any units.
