The Landing is Phase 1 of the Sanctuary masterplan, located in Wentworth Point. The core element of the masterplan is 'one with nature', a design ethos that has strongly influenced the interior design.
Taking an 'inside to outside' approach, nature's beauty permeates the design at every turn.
This commitment to nature informed the materials and tones selected for The Landing, exhibited through the earthy, natural palette.
The materials that have been chosen are either sourced directly from or inspired by the local environment. Natural materials are key to the overall design story and that of the Sekisui Principles; therefore, every effort has been made to ensure the material and design integrity are delivered.
There’s a real focus on curves, harnessing this softness the interiors of each apartment are defined by rounded forms, warm timber and quiet details realised in either a light or dark scheme.
Materiality choices, design features and apartment layouts optimised for Sanctuary's riverside location.
Inspiration
Sanctuary design principles respect and respond to the land and its people to help accentuate and preserve the natural environment, creating a balance that’s sustainable for new communities today and into the future.
The interior design is informed by the principles inherent in Sekisui House’s design philosophy:
Satoyama
“rivers make ribbons of interaction”
Gohon no Ki
“conserving & enhancing the natural surroundings”
N x Yutaka
“bringing the inside to outside”
Michi
“a rich personal connections between spaces”
Omotenashi
“community connection to the environment”
