The Rathbone

An Innovative Nod to Tradition

This residential project’s narrow site, formerly a petrol station, was a design challenge, as was the site’s urban village character. Innovation was essential to deliver light and space to residents, while respecting the local area’s traditional architecture.

This development combines the functionality of a two storey terrace with the benefits of being in a light filled secure environment with access to roof top garden.

Our design imagined 28 distinctive terrace homes and apartments, combined with retail, community space, activated laneways and a public courtyard. Blurring the boundaries between public and private delivers more to the entire community, while roof gardens, park views, sunlight and fresh air ensure private zones feel expansive.
