设计方案平衡了客户诉求和地点条件的制约。虽然该项目两面临街,但建筑东侧需要向Dock街对面的Spark大厦的巨大楼体妥协。该建筑被分成两个部分,各对一条街,西向的公园景观公寓面积更大更贵,东向面对Dock街的公寓小而经济。尽管将建筑物一分为二提高了造价,但这样使得所有公寓都有双向通透的结构,使更多房间拥有外部窗户。南端开辟的中央庭院被公寓环绕,许多公寓可以俯瞰庭院景观。建筑的最终形式由上述分项设计方案固定。沿Halsey街主立面进一步拆解出两个垂直元素,两幢公寓每个楼层都有个性表现的机会。同样地,Dock街公寓拆分出三个垂直元素进行个性表达。

Block 1

Larger units face west over Halsey Street and Victoria Park and smaller more affordable units face Dock Street. Although splitting the building into two blocks makes construction more expensive it also allows for all units to be dual aspect gaining more rooms with exterior windows.

Block 5

A central courtyard space is then bounded on the south by circulation and overlooked by various units. The north and south façades are solid by nature due to fire rating requirements. The east and west façades incorporate fritted glass balustrades to maximise outlook. Vertical metal fins are used to simplify, consolidate, and accentuate the vertical façade.
