Footscray Apartment, Melbourne


A 7-storey design yielding 22 two-bedroom apartments and ground floor retail/commercial tenancy on a site of only 370sqm in area with basement car parking.  Apartments have been designed to optimise solar access and views to the city.  Creative modulation of the building’s facades achieved by using built form, sunscreens and window fenestration results in a highly varied and articulated elevations that disguise efficiently repetitive floor plates.  A shared landscaped roof deck and gymnasium crowns the development, taking full advantage of panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and demonstrating an equitable rigor of detailing and design.
