HKR’s site is a prominent 1.3 acre site to the north east of the district centre and will consist of a mixed-use development of approximately 20,500 m², which will include a 5,000 m² anchor retail unit and 113 apartments.
The new buildings by HKR are highly sculptural and the development will be perceived as a solid brick volume that has been carved and punctured to reveal a lightweight, light coloured inner shear facade structure.
The scale of the district have been addresseed and the placing of the differing accommodation reflects this, along with the requirement for particular activities on the various facades to enliven the surrounding plazas and streetscapes.
