Lord Street Apartments

APARTMENTS / A CONSIDERED RESPONSE

A new scale.
An urban outlook.

A four-storey apartment development in Highgate, Perth. Planted balconies and a curved architectural form bring a softer edge to the street, with a revised design that removes the former car stackers.

01 / THE DESIGN

Room for the city.
A more human scale.

The updated proposal brings the building to four storeys. Deep balconies, planting and a layered facade create a relationship between private homes and the street below.

02 / MATERIAL & DETAIL

A softer form.
A grounded base.

Pale curved bands and dark vertical elements shape the upper levels. Brick at street level adds texture and a sense of permanence, while planted edges soften the transition between building and neighbourhood.
