Project Design
Project documentation states the development has been designed to improve pedestrian activation along Mitchell Avenue, with a clearly defined pedestrian entrance separated from vehicle access. Landscaping, glazing, and bicycle parking are incorporated into the frontage design to support the public realm.
Architectural elements include metal panels, cedar cladding, stucco finishes, balconies, and floor-to-ceiling glazing. The building design also integrates landscaped planter areas and screening elements to minimise the visual impact of parking areas.
The project includes approximately 1,940 square feet of rooftop communal open space intended to support resident recreation and interaction opportunities.
