Regent St

23.07.2011
The proposed development on Regent St is a 6 storey apartment building with a 4 storey street wall and one additional storey set back from the street. Ground Pedestrian entry is slightly elevated in concrete finish which creates a differentiation to the surrounding buildings. Above is a mix of one and two bedroom apartments varying between 42m and 70m2.

Prahran is characterised by its eclectic mix of low rise and high rise buildings, both new and old. The area is anchored around the retail and restaurants of Chapel street with the existing workshops and warehouses in the adjacent streets being increasingly converted into residential development.

The design has overcome the challenge of creating an appropriate and contemporary building that references and complements the post industrial warehouse qualities of the existing neighbours.

The proposed development is a reference to the brick character that dominates the local streetscape in two scales. At a micro scale there will be a brick skin not common to contemporary designs, bridging the new developments in the area to the old. At a macro scale, these sections of tile go from being the brick to the mortar in a pattern that provides definition to all three facades. This pattern deconstructs the street wall providing a unique contribution to the local built environment.

16.07.2011
Elan is a high-end apartment development on Darling Street, South Yarra featuring 8 dwellings.It ia a sensitive yet contemporary contribution to its local where some of Melbourne’s most iconic, early apartment buildings are situated.

The design provides Darling Street with a new dynamic addition to the streetscape, maximizing views the building divides into two visually separate vertical forms. Each responds to its respective neighbours scale, setbacks and materiality.Visually separate from the main body of the building, the ‘capitol’ is a two-level component wrapping over the top of the development. It is highlighted through the use of copper cladding, reflecting both the roof forms and colour of the historic precinct.

The design not only provides a positive contribution to apartment living in Melbourne, but also  engages in a contemporary manner with a historically and culturally sensitive site.
