Macquarie Street

The site is located on the western edge of Parramatta City Centre, opposite the World Heritage surrounds of Parramatta Park. The Design response leverages the transitional site identity, straddling the Parramatta CBD, Station/ Metro and park settings.

Parramatta is the epicentre of an evolving restaurant and cafe culture with direct access to workplace, museums, theatre, sports and live show venues, making it an attractive location for a unique co-living offering.

The innovative project construction methodology employs volumetric, modular components which reduces the in-situ works on-site to the podium, tower core and roof-top elements only. The building massing and layout has been driven by a combination of structural and modular efficiencies, coupled with design drivers to meet operational, environmental and market-driven outcomes.

The tower façade takes advantage of panoramic outlooks through generous glazed openings. The site benefits from diverse and desirable outlook from all building frontages, capturing views to Parramatta Park, CBD, river, Church Street precinct and distant blue mountain ranges. A proposed roof-top terrace and layered communal spaces enables the varied views and outlook to be enjoyed and accessed by all occupants.

Integrated landscaping and deep soil zones reinforce the role landscape in shaping the identity of the site and the wider Park Edge precinct whilst also forming a strong visual and acoustic retail tenancy buffer to vehicular movement along Macquarie Street.
