Connemarra Street, Bexley
Status: Completed
Objective
The priority of the design approach was to respond to four clearly identifiable contextual aspects arising from the site’s address to two separate streets. One is the context of three storey apartment buildings at the north-east portion of the site. The second is the individual dwelling houses to the south. The third is historic character of the existing sandstone dwelling and garden setting, and the fourth feature is the cliff across the middle of the site.
Outcome
- Design completes and matches the three-storey apartment context to the north
- Compatible relationship with the individual dwelling houses to the south-west
- Retains heritage garden setting to the west address
- Establishes a dialogue of scale with the existing sandstone dwelling
