Located in Glebe, facing the skyline of Sydney, the West End Residences sit in an area undergoing a rich transformation.
The project consists of two buildings, generous landscaped courtyards, accessible roofs and additional dynamic compositional features.
Materials and textures of both the architecture and environmental graphics, are selected to keep the original essence of the area.
Inspired by the Art Deco movement, the environmental graphics use a combination of modernist styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials.
It also draws on the architectural use of arches and the strong lines of the building to inform the design approach.
“We're drawing on something old to reinvent something new again.”
