The typical apartment living space with “V” grooved wall panelling and bi-folding doors connecting seamlessly to the balcony / wintergarden.

The parabolic shaped lobby follows the façade structure. White terrazzo floors, white limed timber walls and an artist designed ceramic lift wall are part of a sensual arrival experience. © Maya Ferriere
The precast GRC horizontal sun screens are an effective shading device. © VIZarch
The balconies on the upper levels are enclosed in 2.2 metre high glass to make them more usable in a high rise windy position. © VIZarch
The podium of the building is screened by a brise-soleil precast structure that veils the sun and traffic noise. © VIZarch
The entry to the apartments’ lobby is a parabolic archway. A first floor terrace above the awning with café seating is a lookout for the barristers and journalists spotting celebrities at the entry of the courthouse across the road. © VIZarch
The awning follows the flow of the pedestrian street activity, covers a subway entry and extends out at the corner. © VIZarch
The southern face of the high rise is cut by a slanted gold anodised roof to satisfy an irregular profile imposed by council. The gold was chosen to echo the gold ceramic details of the court house visible on the right hand side. © VIZarch
The corner apartments are moulded to form a curved balcony overlooking the intersection. © VIZarch
