Just finished a new design. Tricky orientation and a very tight site. Needed to crank the front balconies to achieve complying solar access. Gave a more interesting take on the usual egg crate facade treatment that seems to be "de rigueur" in RFB designs now-a-days. Being in a flood zone made basement access even more difficult but it works with a raised ramp entry and corkscrew style levels below. A mix of single level and two level units provide for a good mix. A touch of brutalism with some softer finishes. main facade 01 main facade 02 rear lane 01 rear lane 02 axo 01 axo 02 axo 03 axo 04 typical plans long sections

Here's the preliminary design for a new residential building in Alexandria. A mixture of modernism and brutalism. The challenge has been to get effective solar access to as many units as possible. The T-bar shape allows for separation of the rear section from future adjoining developments. If the planners preliminary feedback is positive then there will be a mad scramble to complete a DA submission. rear lane view T-bar gives separation to future developments front facade elements cranked for solar access upper level recessed and with different material lower units have street access and can be used as home offices common outdoor areas located on rear roof
