The Eliza Apartments by Tony Owen Partners has just been completed in Sydney. Designed to be Sydney’s most prestigious and progressive address.

Design: Jorge Hrdina Architects. The house for a family of five sits on a steep site, surrounded by eucalypts on Sydney’s Middle Harbour. From the street, a low flying roof and strong, horizontal screen reveal little of the intersecting and folding architecture that makes up the project.
Design: Bruce Stafford Architects. This family home is the result of an extensive renovation to a modest but elevated harbour-facing property. The project involved working with a significant proportion of the existing fabric, resulting in the need for a carefully resolved internal layout.

Design: Bruce Stafford Architects. This dramatic renovation centres around a spacious internal courtyard defined by natural rock face and lush vegetation. Large sliding glass doors in the main living area enable a seamless flow between inside and outside. The living areas also have the added benefit of glazing on the north façade which opens up the house to the view.
Design: Bruce Stafford Architects. As the house is set lower than the road with living spaces opening back toward the street, a lightweight timber screen filters street views and creates privacy, yet allows light and ventilation to the private living spaces. The house has two living levels; the primary living level opens out toward an elevated view and the lower living area flows out to a pool deck and private courtyards.
Design: Bruce Stafford Architects. The renovation of an existing house which was originally an 80’s style multi-tenancy building. Only the external walls were retained to comply with the approved council envelope. Views of the harbor and the site’s natural amenities were maximized.
Design: Bruce Stafford Architects. This home is situated on a narrow site with waterfront at one short end and parkland along the long northerly side. The prime design generator was to frame the various view opportunities from the moment one arrived off the street, by creating a range of different spaces.

Sydney Greenland Centre Balcony, NSW, Australia, design by BVN Donovan Hill. When residents move into Sydney’s tallest apartment building, they will find a balcony that has all the characteristics of a verandah, sheltered, secure with unimpeded views to sit back and enjoy: called the ‘Sydney Balcony’.
Sydney Greenland Centre, NSW, Australia, design by PTW / LAVA. This interior uses latest technologies, parametric modelling and rapid prototyping. Chris Bosse, director of LAVA, said: “People in the 21st century are looking for spaces that link them to nature, and the forms found in nature – waves, canyons, clouds – create beautiful, efficient and connective spaces.”
The proposal for the Parramatta’s stage 5 & 6 commercial towers aims at integrating the towers within the urban fabric of the city by favouring retention of existing public access through the site and providing the city of Parramatta new public destinations.
