Forma & Contra at 918 Canterbury Road, Roselands is a sculptural and community-focused Build to Rent (BTR) development that reimagines rental living through thoughtful design. Defined by fluid architectural forms, curved awnings, and articulated façades, the building responds to its urban context with a strong yet refined presence.
A mix of 100 residences, including townhouses, mezzanines, and apartments, caters to a diverse tenant base, with layouts designed to maximise natural light, ventilation, and district views.
Ground-level retail and active frontages establish a vibrant streetscape, while landscaped communal spaces and rooftop terraces foster a sense of connection and retreat.
Durable, high-quality materials - including precast concrete, glass, and metalwork - ensure longevity, while passive design strategies enhance sustainability and comfort. Forma & Contra seamlessly integrates architecture and urban life, setting a new benchmark for considered, enduring rental living.
“Forma & Contra reflects the power of great design in shaping communities, demonstrating that Build to Rent can deliver both exceptional quality and long-term value. ”
