Wellington
Part of the federal government's Nation Building initiative, 95 Wellington Street Collingwood comprises 86 apartments across six storeys.
The modular design is made up of three different components, breaking up the façade to create a dynamic, contemporary composition.
In spite of a challenging budget and timeline, the studio delivered a thoughtful and appealing design outcome. Materials were selected for their ability to assist the speed of construction within specified budgetary requirements. Adaptable layouts were incorporated to accommodate disabled residents, while the overall design factored in security for all residents.
Balconies have an east or west orientation and an elevated courtyard at the rear of the building overlooks an adjacent park. A public art project for inclusion in the base of the building completes the design.
