Multi-Residential – Preston Lane

Allunga Road Multi

prestonlaneadmin — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:41:47 +0000

Situated in the suburb of Chigwell adjacent a busy roundabout, the site is bordered by streets on three sides. The project brief was to develop social housing units to replace a pre-existing two storey development that existed on the site.
A key design consideration for this multi-residential development was to reduce the perceived scale of the building and to provide an appropriate fit within the neighbourhood.
The design comprises twelve one-bedroom units over two levels, and six two-bedroom units located over a concealed carpark. The units are broken into three forms which are connected by a simple circulation spine which connects the site in an East West direction as the units radiate around a central outdoor area.

105 Macquarie Street Apartments

The project involved the re-imagining of the upper most floor of a prominent heritage listed building in central Hobart. Formerly used as office space the brief was to provide two short term stay apartments each with a distinct ‘personality’ reflective of their position and aspect within the building.

The first unit overlooking a prominent park encompasses the idea of celebration through bold colour (abstract mural commissioned by local artist ‘Eloise Lark’), generous use of light and volume; the second unit exploring the concept of contemplation through the controlled use of light scale and tactile materials.

St James Apartments

This projects looks at a general refurbishment of the common areas at the high-end St James Apartments along St Kilda Road.

The material palette features the use of bluestone, timber slats, dark carpet, coloured mosaics and textured wallpaper to bring a level of simple sophistication. On the two basement car park levels, new timber slats give more prominence to the lift entries. A graphic inspired by the leaves of the elm trees that line St Kilda Road dot the new frameless glass sliding doors transitioning the residents into their private apartments. Considered detailing across this project is extended in the steel frames that project slightly beyond the edges of the honed Fontaine Blue stone that clad the walls.
