The gateway to Space Apartments from Waymouth Street, Adelaide, provides exclusivity, privacy and security combined with the vibrancy bought to the area by two city retail tenancies.
The semi-private courtyard is a green space that residents can enjoy on a daily basis when entering Waymouth Towers from Waymouth street. The courtyard is designed to be a city green space that will provide a meeting place for residents.
The orientation of the apartments will provide exceptional views of the city, sea, and foothills, making Waymouth Towers a truly magnificent place to live.
From a pedestrian level, the retail tenancies to Waymouth Street add vibrancy to the streetscape and encourages public interaction with the development.
The 6 level development to Waymouth and Crowther Street is a statement building that helps define the corner. The 10 level building is setback from all boundaries to minimise impact on streetscape and neighbouring properties, while the large balconies, glass balustrades and curved facades aid in softening the built form.
Ecologically Sustainable Design principles have been applied to Waymouth Towers throughout the design process. ESD considerations include:
- Water capture, retention, and reuse
- 10 level building has been curved toward the northern aspect to maximise winter sun
- External shading has helped minimise solar gain
- Winter Gardens provide adaptable green spaces
- Performance glazing has been applied
- Power use to public areas is minimised through the use of open air foyers and lobbies to reduce Air Conditioned spaces
- Sensor lighting is applied to appropriate public areas to minimise power usage
