Mixed Use Residential Development


A mixed use development with five residential apartments, seven parking spaces, a cafe and a jazz club. The site is a steep sloping corner block in north Coogee with some beach views to the south, main frontage to the east, solar access to the north and the frontage of a heritage building to the west.

Inspired by Pierre Chareau's La Maison De Verre, cladding of the residential apartments consists of a double layer of channel glass. The crystal green colour of the glass was a reflection of the ocean waters nearby, set off by cast-bronze balcony panels perforated to articulate grains of sand. This building will sparkle by day, and glow invitingly at night, like the beach.
