简要介绍的是一栋能最大限度地提高地块产量的多级公寓楼。我们的设计策略是把这个地方想象成一个在其简朴的工业环境中被美化的岛屿。然后，该建筑物可以作为一个独特的，雕塑的对象在这个景观中。在围墙上建造的屏幕上不断增长的爬虫也将确保可以为开发中的单元创建一个花园方面。在建筑工地上稍微旋转一下，会放大物体与景观及其周围环境的关系，并为清晨或下午晚些时候的阳光进入创造机会-尤其是面向南的公寓。

The brief was for a multilevel apartment building that maximised yield on the site. Our design strategy was to imagine the site as a landscaped island within its austere industrial surrounds. The building could then sit as a singular, sculptural object within this landscape. Growing creepers on screens built on perimeter fences would also ensure that a garden aspect could be created for units within the development. Slightly rotating the building on the site amplifies the relationship of the object to the landscape and its surrounds, as well as creating opportunities for early morning or late afternoon sun access – particularly to south facing apartments.

从程序上讲，我们试图创建一个混合建筑，其中包含各种住宿类型，可以吸引多样化的居民社区。北部大庭院的两层联排别墅位于较低层，一间和两间卧室公寓位于其上方，两层有屋顶露台的顶层公寓完成了分段组装。这一安排具有成本效益，因为它最大限度地提高了产量，并将公共区域走廊的范围缩小到只有2层；它还最大限度地利用了北方方向-在开发项目中的29套公寓中，有25套是主要的北方公寓。

Programmatically we have attempted to create a hybrid building that contained a variety of accommodation types that could attract a diverse community of inhabitants. Two storey townhouses with large northern courtyards occupy lower levels, one and two bedroom apartments sit above them and two level penthouse apartments with roof terraces complete the sectional assembly. This arrangement is cost effective in that it has maximised yield and minimised the extent of common area corridors to only 2 levels.  It has also maximized northern orientation – with 25 of the 29 apartments within the development having primary northern aspect.

这座建筑被分成一系列5.4米宽的海湾，这些海湾是从较低层的两层露台房屋聚会墙中衍生出来的。上层的北面和南面的正面要么是木材，要么是玻璃卢浮宫在派对墙壁之间的海湾。百叶窗提供了控制噪音和通风的机会，并允许阳台空间在冬季的几个月内作为日光室被封闭，从而有效地增加了公寓内的可居住空间。

The building is divided into a series of 5.4 metre wide bays that are derived from the two storey terrace house party walls at lower levels. Upper level north and south facades are either timber or glass louvre infill bays between the party walls. The louvres offer opportunities to control noise and ventilation, as well as allowing balcony spaces to be sealed as sunrooms within winter months, effectively increasing liveable spaces within the apartments.

较低层的联排住宅与上层顶层住宅一样，可以全宽运行，享受被动交叉通风的机会。

Lower level townhouses run the full width of the building and enjoy opportunities for passive cross flow ventilation as do the upper level penthouse living spaces.

东面和西面都是四层楼高的墙，用来装订大楼。它们是由一系列不同直径的圆形窗户连接起来的，这些窗户以一种吸引人和抽象的方式打破了壁面的质量。在这条街上，立面成了一种神秘的存在。漆黑的雪松覆层放大了建筑的质地和经验性，也区分了市场上其他建筑的发展。

The eastern and western facades are sheer 4 story walls that bookend the building. They are articulated by a series of circular windows of varying diameters that break the mass of the wall plane down in an engaging and abstract manner. The façade becomes an enigmatic presence within the street. The dark stained cedar cladding serves to amplify the textural and experiential qualities of the building as well distinguish the development from others in the marketplace.

该建筑还提供了一个公共空间的街道，其形式的美化前院区。在这里，各种各样的圆形混凝土播种机散落在人造草坪地面上，这些播种机看起来就像刚刚从门面上掉下来一样。随着前面和周围的植被生长和发展，木材天气也会逐渐减弱，加强和巩固建筑物的存在，并在其不断发展的背景下。

The building also offers a public space to the street in the form of its landscaped forecourt area. Here various circular concrete planters are scattered on an artificial turf ground plane, the planters appearing as if they could have just fallen out of the façade. As the vegetation in front of and around the site grows and develops, so too will the timber weather and gently fade, reinforcing and consolidating the building’s presence and within its evolving context.
