Rina apartment buildings Mascot
The project involved working within a wedged-shape site which required careful planning to maximise the number of units whilst still establishing a generous garden setting. Some of the ways this was achieved and the resulting features were:
Central courtyard – three angular buildings which responded to the boundary edges and minimised building intrusion into the middle of the site where a garden courtyard was planned
Northern facades – all three buildings had a feature northern facade which either addressed the main street or courtyard providing sunlight and views to each unit
Viewable all angles – all other facades responded to their open boundaries with similar architectural treatment meaning that the project could be viewed from all angles
Green corridors – as well as the central courtyard, other smaller courtyards were distributed around the site together with a network of meandering pathways creating green corridor access to ground floor apartments
