The architectural expression is defined by a veiled street frontage that softens the building’s presence within its leafy Bondi context. This layered façade creates a sense of privacy and exclusivity for residents while providing solar protection and filtered outlooks to the street.

Internally, the apartments are designed with a premium residential sensibility. Generous room proportions, efficient planning, considered circulation and carefully resolved layouts contribute to a high standard of living. Each apartment has been planned to feel spacious, calm and well detailed, reflecting Lockhart-Krause Architects’ expertise in luxury apartment design and refined multi-residential living. The design balances architectural sophistication with practical residential amenity, creating a building that feels both contemporary and contextually responsive.

Lockhart-Krause Architects strategically utilised the LMR planning bonuses to unlock a stronger development outcome for the client. While the original controls limited the site to a maximum GFA of 0.9:1 and a building height of 12.5m, the LMR bonus enabled the proposal to achieve 1.5:1 GFA and an increased maximum height allowance of 17.5m.

Through clear, direct drawings and well-structured documentation, we were able to communicate the design intent effectively and support the uplift through discussions with Council. This resulted in a more efficient, valuable and architecturally refined scheme.
