Constructed using recycled materials and with environmentally sustainable features including a food waste system, rainwater tanks and an average 7-star energy rating, this development of 74 apartments targeting owner occupiers is designed to foster neighbourly connection. Shared outdoor corridors, internal courtyards, private courtyards and a communal rooftop garden offer residents’ additional habitable spaces; all planned with an understanding of the needs of families and the community.
