Little Bay Apartments

An entrance to the Prince Henry site

Their sinuous forms compress and then open out in a strong entrance sequence to the Prince Henry site, reinforcing the corners at the intersection of Pine Avenue and Anzac Parade, then stepping down and peeling back to reveal a new public space and the elegant façades of the historic Flowers Wards, the heritage landscape and coastal vistas beyond. The new north-facing open space and ground level retail accommodation create both a communal focus and commercial heart for the Prince Henry community.

Oriented to the east

Behind the screened façades raised above street level, three to four levels of apartments are oriented toward the easterly views, the city and Botany Bay. A random pattern forms the primary street walls, while providing shade and privacy to generous private open space and interiors beyond. The orientation of the apartments and avoidance of overlooking is a direct result of building form and internal planning initiatives.

Cross ventilation

Apartments are positioned to take advantage of prevailing breezes and promote cross ventilation, including single-oriented apartments, which are augmented with solar stacks. Each living space aligns with a generous private open space, which together with garden terraces and communal landscaped areas create amenity for residents, as well as attractive foregrounds to views.
