The buildings also pay respect to their neighbours; a setback is introduced on both buildings on the eastern sides to ensure the neighbouring living spaces of an existing building are provided with maximum light, air and privacy, and the impact of the new development is minimal.
The horizontal bulk of the project, spanning five blocks, is diminished in how the façade echoes the apartments within; the elegant line of vertical fins pause to frame a stack of balconies located at the centre of the building, creating distinct parts to the building and a clear symmetrical expression.
This contrast between the crispness of the newly painted metal work and the rawness of the timber helps elevate the interior spaces while drawing attention to the age and patina of the original.
The apartments cater for a diverse range of the community; we have many apartments to compact apartments and a range of sizes to increase affordability. The apartment range and types will ensure a social mix and a vibrant occupant outcome for the building. These elements, combined with the richness and quality of the landscape design, equate to a standard of aesthetics that exceeds and sets to increase the current standard for residential development in Maroubra Junction.
