“The design concept is for two residential towers in an extensively landscaped, sub-tropical setting. The soft curved metal screens unify the towers and articulate the concrete planter edges, while the large concrete planters to level two create a strong foundation for the towers to rise. “- HAL

The communal open space, equivalent to 25% of the site, provides a variety of spaces for residents to interact and socialize. At ground floor level between the two towers, there is a central pavilion containing a gym and formal dining area that can be used for small functions, surrounded by more informal communal recreation facilities such as seating and gathering areas, a yoga deck, and water features. The rooftop communal open space areas at level 11 of each tower include a swimming pool, BBQ facilities, and sun lounge terrace.

    426 total car parks for 218 apartments is very excessive for an area well-served by a train station. That will add a lot of congestion to the area.

    Parking is a significant problem on this street and the surrounding streets, so a high number of car parks is beneficial. Please do not reduce the number of parks!

    Why is an 11 storey apartment block proposed when the limit is 6 levels? The existing 6 level block to the east of this building will have all sunlight and view blocked.
