The definition of contemporary urban living integrated within the surrounding natural landscape

This residential development is located in the heart of Knox. The main apartment building is spread over 6 storeys, with each apartment featuring classy design and generous floor space against the backdrop of the Dandenong Ranges. At the other corner of the site, and linked via a landscaped podium, are a collection of 7 luxurious townhouse apartments - the definition of city urban living. The quality of the development was carefully thought through between architect, engineer and contractor to deliver the high standard required by the client.

Key features include a large landscaped ground floor deck over a full-site basement. The deck connects the main residential apartment building with the high quality townhouses to the south of the site and is substantially landscaped. Car stackers are adopted to maximise car parking numbers and to simplify the basement construction. Upper levels of the structure are almost transfer free with some limited mismatches accommodated at ground floor level to balance structural efficiency with final car parking numbers.
