Location Zetland, NSW
Year 2002

47 apartments and 16 townhouses were developed as the model first stage for the development of an entire inner city district. Victoria Park will eventually accommodate over 3000 residents, and is being built on the site of a disused factory complex, once a racecourse, on the southern fringe of Sydney.

Designed in collaboration with LFA Pacific Architects, the development completely occupies one new urban block and creates a dense urban environment, where each of the apartments and townhouses has excellent solar access, privacy and a green outlook. Roof terraces capture broad views to the city skyline.

Each of the four facades responds to its orientation and setting. The north elevation opens onto the adjoining parkland, while the west is clad in cobalt brickwork and creates a micro-environment with the avenue of dense fig trees lining he adjoining boulevard.
