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.
