Located near Narwee Station, the development transforms a prominent site into 181 apartments, including affordable and adaptable homes, alongside a renewed pub, retail and generous communal spaces.

Being a Good Neighbour 

The building form is pulled away from the adjacent properties on the northern edge to reduce overshadowing and mediate the scale against neighbouring properties. 

Ground Floor Activation 

Active uses and a clear through-site pedestrian link improve connectivity and enhance ground-level permeability. 

Maximising Amenity 

The stepped form optimises solar access to apartments and communal spaces.

Cascading native planting, increased tree canopy and shaded communal areas support biodiversity, improve microclimate and bring seasonal change into daily life.

A landscaped, weather-protected link connects Penshurst Road with Kardella Crescent Park, improving permeability and creating welcoming places to meet, pause and gather.

The renewed pub, retail spaces and landscaped public realm sustain the site’s social role and bring activity to the precinct throughout the day and evening.

Stepped forms, recessed notches and orientation-specific balconies reduce perceived bulk, optimise solar access and natural ventilation, and protect apartments from heat, noise and overlooking.
