The use of vibrant colour is integral to the dynamic facade of this building. The colour is applied by way of unusual materials such as vinyl and one-way glass, and is highlighted by a large community art panel. The use of colour gives movement to the facade and sits well in the busy urban setting. This five storey complex accommodating 30 apartments, a commercial tenancy, and 37 on-site car parks, is a striking design achievement. This project contributes to contemporary design by challenging the idea of surface and façade through the clever use of positive and negative spaces, creating a development that invigorates and interacts with its surrounds, offering a vibrant place to live. This project has value added to the client’s investment and expectations.
