The porthole windows create vitrines to the apartments inside,
flooding them with light. The windows set up a formal language
which is continued internally throughout the building in details
such as light fittings, door handles and tiles.
BKK Architects say that the apartments have been designed
with a strong focus on accessibility and passive environmental
control, which will allow residents the comfort associated with
a family home. This speaks to the shift in the way apartments
in Melbourne are being conceived - from an investor market
to owner-occupier market, necessitating higher quality design
outcomes.
