Archer Office developed the design of this apartment building containing 24 apartments located on Bourke St, Waterloo as part of a competition scheme for a larger development lead by by Woods Bagot Architects.
The scheme maximises the relationship between living areas and the outdoors. The form of the building has been driven by exceptional site constraints, with the solution providing for efficiently planned apartments opening onto generous balconies from all living areas. A series of two storey terrace-like dwellings are accessible directly from ground level.
The building features integrated ESD initiatives including passive solar design principles, integrated, resilient finishes, solar panels, and rainwater collection for on site irrigation of planting.
