Nine luxury unit multi residential development in Crows Nest
The brief was ambitious. The client is a respected developer in the North Sydney area. His plan was to build nine luxury units on a lovely land parcel in Crows Nest. The land was located in a Heritage Conservation zone. Crows Nest sits in the North Sydney Council LGA, whose residential planning controls are comprehensive and they pay particular attention to ensuring any new residential development is sympathetic to the areas well guarded heritage restrictions.
The outcome
Our team worked tirelessly with the North Sydney Council representatives to ensure the nine-unit development met the North Sydney residential building codes. The intelligent use of bay windows and pitched roof forms helps to reduce the massing along the street façade, allowing it to better reflect the scale and rhythm of the neighbouring terrace houses. This design feature minimised the visual dominance while remaining consistent with the residential character of the streetscape and the surrounding Heritage Conservation Area.
