Galway Street Apartments
The selected Galway Street concept arranges the two apartment buildings within the centre of the site. Well set back from residential neighbours, maximising the amount of sunlight opportunity while also maximising common landscaping. Excellent daylight access is provided to all apartments, with south facing living areas avoided and apartments maintaining a Northern axis within building A and East-West axis in Building B. The scale of the new buildings is broken down by recessing balconies into the facade and using a series of changes in material to divide the facade into elements which have human scale. Each apartment is able to be identified from the exterior of the building providing a unique form of identity.

Waterview Court
The Great North Road development will comprise of a diverse range of housing typologies, from three-bedroom terraced housing through to one-bedroom apartments.

FABRIC Apartments – Stage 1
A re-imagining of a former industrial site, the development features 239 new apartments spread over five separate buildings all linked via a landscape podium. Stage One of FABRIC, now complete, consists of three four-storey apartment buildings accommodating 161 apartments. Ashton Mitchell worked closely with developers Lamont & Co to create a new ‘pocket neighbourhood’ with a strong architectural identity and sense of place. The development is focused on a large common green space, with all buildings connected underground via basement car-parking.
