Aeris on the Park Apartments

Sited in a prominent location within the Bowden precinct, the design of this four storey residential development consciously drew on the history of the area and its industrial context. The dynamic facade references the sawtooth roof forms of the existing industrial buildings with materials and finishes evoking this historical industrial character. The articulation of the façade, with its projected window forms and balconies was a deliberate design response to activate the street frontage whilst capitalising on the views over the public park opposite.

Comprised of 34 residences, including one and two bedroom apartments and three bedroom penthouse suites, residences have a dual aspect, maximising natural light and promoting cross ventilation. Apartments are arranged around a large communal courtyard, ensuring a high degree of amenity, including facilities for outdoor cooking, entertainment and recreation.

The confined site posed a creative challenge to ensure that the project met the client’s commercial brief whilst still delivering high quality accommodation for residents. Collaboration with the construction manager throughout both the design and documentation phases allowed the project to be value engineered from the start ensuring a cost effective outcome.
