This urban regeneration project has transformed a former industrial site in Arncliffe into a mixed use residential and retail precinct.This development consists of four residential buildings connected by a landscaped publicly accessible podium which together with retail street frontages conceals basement and ground level carparking. Building A (122 apartments) is a 20 level hinged plan tower with street frontage for retail prominently located at the corner of Lusty and Arncliffe Streets which defines the project address and the entry to the precinct. Bulding B (102 apartments) is a 14 level building with multiple lift cores located to the southern edge of the site fronting the podium. Buildings D (42 apartments) and E (28 apartments) are located across the Lusty and Arncliffe Street frontages with retail at street level and four levels of apartments over. The low rise buildings use dark brickwork with a rhythm of cantilevered boxes to create a humane scaled streetscape. The larger buildings use a combination of colour and vertical urban windows to create an abstract composition that is legible at the urban scale.
