Originally approved for 13 apartments, the project team worked diligently to reduce the number of apartments, keep the same footprint and produce 5 high quality apartments above basement car parking. In a residential context, the development had to consider the sensitive interfaces, the internal and external amenity outcomes and the desire to provide a landscaped setting to contribute to the character of the area. The finished product includes a mix of materials and a front façade and fence that integrates with the streetscape and results in a high quality design outcome.
