This site fronts onto a large park with the waterfront beyond.

The unique design consist mostly of ‘through-units’ with an open rear corridor. As such almost all of the units face north and enjoy the panoramic views.

The benefit of through-apartments is that they are naturally ventilated. This allows for natural cooling with reduced energy costs.

Twin 13 storey towers sit above a podium. The towers are linked is a single mass for the first 6 storeys then split to allow neighbours views.

The podium creates a continuous activation along the park and contains cafes and commercial spaces.

The podium roof contains communal outdoor spaces including a gym and swimming pool. The massing creates a progression which breaks down and dematerialises as it gets higher.

The design is inspired by the wave patterns of the nearby waterfront coastline.

The supple curves reflect the tidal flows. A white wave pattern is achieved by alternating glass and pre-cast concrete to create the balcony curves and the sculptural form.
