Project Delivery

  • A Vision and indicative masterplan produced through an intensive seven day design Charrette process with client and collaborators.
  • A Vision of timeless urbanism – a town comprising quarters of distinct character, use and density that could grow over time.
  • A masterplan structured around a highly accessible public transport network and a sequence of parks, waterways, streets and spaces – to create legible, attractive and well-connected neighbourhoods.
  • Inclusion of a variety of residential typologies, from higher density apartments to large villas set amongst paddocks and woodland.
  • Orientation to maximise residential aspects over the water and landscape.
  • A range of employment uses, including a business park.
  • Phase One delivery of the detailed masterplan, including building typology and massing definition.
  • Preparation of a Design Code to provide a set of rules and recommendations to guide other architects working on individual buildings.
