Oracle Apartments - Canberra

Location Canberra

The three and a half hectare sloping site was master planned to accommodate a mixed-use development, comprised of substantial residential accommodation, recreational and health facilities including a gym and swimming pool, childcare facilities for 120 children, retail, car-parking structure, and a commercial office building. The office building is positioned on a significant corner of the town centre, and the placement of the residential blocks forms landscaped courts establishing a series of social spaces. Whilst having a unified architectural character, each building grouping has an individual identity through subtle differences in massing, detail and colour. The site master plan allowed for phased construction, which is now complete.
