With our client Deicorp, we have submitted a significant design application for 873 apartments. The precinct is 34km north-west of the Sydney CBD and within walking distance of Showgrounds Metro Station. The project features an activated ground plane connecting 5 buildings of up to 16 storeys, with a build-to-rent component, to provide a diverse mix of apartment typologies: 16% 1-bed, 59.5% 2-bed, and 24.5% 3-bed.
Our team designed buildings A, B, and C in the precinct, and Turner Architects designed buildings D and E, undertaking an extensive design excellence review process.
The building boasts diverse and premium communal spaces located within internal courtyards, podium space and rooftop viewing.
The new Showground East Park. E-Lab led the sustainable focus within the design team and identified a series of Ecologically Sustainable design (ESD) principles aiming to attain a 5-star Green Star rating. Precinct East promotes the positive attributes of transit-oriented development and facilitates a healthy and diverse community.
