This is a brave example of high density, low rise, contemporary, urban residential design. The apartments are placed carefully around a central, secure courtyard. The street and city are remote, and a simple palette of materials and colour provide a strong sense of identity. Sealed concrete block, black profiled metal cladding and white, cantilevered balconies provide a playful yet unified whole. The result is inner city living as envisaged by the city growth strategy.
