Tonkin Zulaikha Greer’s scheme for the 9-25 Commonwealth Street Design Excellence Competition saw an urban form generated that complements the existing surroundings. It comprised a podium that engages with the public domain and a slender tower that reconciles visual conflicts of neighbouring development. The existing public domain is energised and improved by the arrangement of key components such as cafes and restaurants, the gym and apartment building entrance as series of building forms that each open directly out to address the surrounding streets. A path weaves its way from Commonwealth Street past the restaurants, up to the roof terrace, and then on up to the gym. The roof terrace doubles as a sheltered outdoor dining level and the launching pad for a climbing wall.
