Tooronga Village Stage 2, Glen Iris
13.11.2007| The proposed ‘Stage 2’ development consists of a linear residential building and multi-deck car park. The residential building accommodates 100 apartments over 3 cores in a single loaded ventilated corridor arrangement and the multi-deck car park accommodates 149 car spaces for the residential building on the 2 lowest levels and 500 CML employee car spaces on the 5 upper levels.
The principal architectural language for the building is characterized by its form. The design employs generous sweeping curves to provide a softer, gentler edge to the site than that of the CML office building. The silhouette of the building is of a stepping nature. At the western end, adjacent to the plaza and looking out over the central park, the built form is at its highest to screen the CML office building behind from view and provide a bookend to the plaza. The steel sections placed on edge and separated at regular intervals allow, if viewed from in front, an open aperture which affords maximum light penetration to apartments and uninterrupted access to views. The steel sections of the balcony treatment, if viewed from an angle however, present a solid face which reinforces the sinuous form of the building behind. |

Peninsula Golf & Country Club, Mornington Peninsula
13.11.2007| The country club renovation and extension were designed to give the original block building a face-lift, and hence an identity. The slate stone and timber facade were chosen to give the country club a sense of warmth, whilst blending in with the original brick building.
The framing of the facade with the timber cladding frames the outside of the building whilst framing the insider’s view to the expansive golf course and scenery outside. The use of alike materials on both the two ends of the extension, and the existing building works to seamlessly tie the country club together to form a harmonious relationship between the old and the new. |
