Altitude, Belconnen
Curvaceous and elegant towers meet activated public domain
Challenge
Altitude provided an opportunity to create 2 buildings comprising 348 apartments & commercial tenants over basement car parking with landscaped through site links and extensive views across the lake.
Insight
The low-rise buildings serve to provide an urban edge to the site on Chandler Street and Emu Bank. The ground floor includes flexible use live/work spaces to promote a healthy activation of the public domain. A central landscape podium provides a sheltered focus with a combination of hard and soft landscape works directly accessible for all residents. A public through site link connects upper and lower levels.
Solution
The façade treatment was carefully studied and resolved to all four elevations, to ensure an elegant development which is particularly striking in the round.
