Waterloo Apartments:
Sculpted By Water
Archer Office developed the design of this apartment building containing 24 apartments located on Bourke St, Waterloo as part of a larger development with other buildings designed by Woods Bagot Architects.
PROJECT STORY
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.
Three residential types are layered up the building with a corner retail space to the ground floor.
