This project is a celebration of contemporary, sub-tropical inner city lifestyle. The site is located in a prime position overlooking New Farm Park, Brisbane. The Ivy apartment tower has been designed as an iconic building signifying the entry to the park.
Situated on the north-western corner of the park, the development responds to the immediate context of Sydney Street to the west, and both the parkland and associated single-storey public library to the south. The apartment tower consists of one unit per floor ensuring a sense of privacy. The upper floors enjoy panoramic views across the park, Teneriffe/Newstead and to the CBD.
In contrast, the three-storey terrace houses to the rear rely on the distinct character of each house to convey its own sense of identity. The exterior form and detail of the houses is characterised by colours and materials that give a sense of deep shade, protection and coolness to the outdoor living areas and interiors.
