Insight

After the success of ‘Altitude’ in Belconnen, Scott Carver was engaged by Hindmarsh to deliver the third residential development for the Woden Green precinct. Using ‘Altitude’ as the benchmark, the project was an example of collaborative workshops designed to formulate a distinct framework that could be applied to every stage of the project. Idalia is named after the Australian National Park of the same name - an apt name for a place to reside bringing sunshine, rolling green parks and gardens providing tranquillity for an inspired lifestyle. 

Solution

The trio of buildings will frame an open central courtyard – a strategic response to the green open spaces that populate Woden. Acting as the arrival point, Idalia is the gateway from the Woden Town Centre into the Woden Green precinct, successfully connected by the floodway pedestrian overpass, which resulted in the edges of the site forming an important frontage. The common landscaping seamlessly threads the pedestrian and cycle network together, connecting to the future stages of the precinct.
