These apartments are located in South Yarra atop one of the few hills in Melbourne’s inner suburbs. the local topography allows this sloping site to achieve expansive elevated views towards the city skyline, sporting precinct, the Yarra River and Richmond. the potential of the site is maximised through the implementation of unorthodox planning concept of the project which allows 16 of the 20 apartments to capture impressive city views.

Orientation of living areas towards the view and the Northern sun is enhanced through the application of a folded Western facade which responds to the internal apartment planning. A series of shelf elements integrated into this facade negate overlooking concerns into neighbouring backyards while providing shading and creating a highly articulated backdrop to the three neighbouring heritage listed dwellings on Punt Road. The two upper floors of the project are stepped back in order to reduce the visual bulk of the development and create a series of large landscaped rooftop terraces for the private use of the three penthouse apartments.

Vertical circulation is provided in the form of a feature external staircase which allows for the cross-flow ventilation of adjacent apartments. This project is a highly site responsive development. It responds to the scale of local built form while maximising the yield of a small residential site.

The North Bondi Apartment development aims to serve as a catalyst in the North Bondi area for increasing density on smaller blocks along major transit routes. Although designed on a small site it still complies with all local regulations in terms of predominant street setback and height restrictions, however still generating a unit yield to make the project a commercial reality.

The planning of the development is two separate unit blocks connected by a common North facing courtyard space on ground floor with vertical circulation above. This space is covered by the upper levels cantilevering over, leaving a shaft of light to penetrate from above. Each unit is designed for the maximum amenity of the occupant by providing both larger apartment sizes for the area as well as designing them to have access to natural light and cross ventilation without compromising their privacy.

The two upper forms are designed to maximise both views over the adjacent golf course to the ocean as well as back to Circular Quay to the west. The colour and feel of their materiality is derived from the character of the local existing roof forms typical of the North Bondi special character area in which the development is located. Their bulk is minimised by setting these units back from the front of the main volume as not to impose on the character of the street.
