The Arthouse, West End Residences

Located in an unbeatable area, facing the skyline of Sydney, the site sits within an area provided with all types of services undergoing transformation.

The project consists of two buildings separated by Elger Street, where the landscape appears to link these two blocks. Comprising of 231 apartments with generous landscaped courtyards through each building, including accessible roofs, the blocks range from 6 – 8 storeys with additional bridges and steps to add dynamism to the composition.

In the arthouse, the concrete is primary with the dark brick base providing the secondary role. Towards  the lower scale row-housing the project offers a finer grain detail including lobby entries, windows and metal fencing elements. For key entry lobbies, the arch geometry is asymmetrical to highlight the special condition and for clear legibility from the street.
