The design is a response to a contextual and site analysis, creating and active street front and response to the neighbouring buildings in height and facade modulation. 

The primary design challenges were to: 

  • create a building that had a sustainable environmental agenda
  • respond harmoniously with the surrounding locality, in particular the Majors Bay Road shopping precinct
  • create a commercial and residential apartment building of excellent design qualities.
