How Rothelowman designed St Leonards new apartment development, The Landmark Quarter
When conceiving their second apartment development in Sydney's St Leonards, it was important for developer New Hope Group to take the successful learnings from their first.
They called on national architecture firm Rothelowman to create The Landmark Quarter, the sequel project to their debut St Leonards apartment development, The Landmark.
Conrad Lowry, Associate at Rothelowman, said the design brief from the outset was to create a series of buildings in the lineage of The Landmark, with multiple unit type offerings, a high level of amenity, and exceptional design features.
"The amalgamation of several small scale lots in a prominent location into a unified and cohesive design across three towers was an exciting challenge on this project," Lowry said, adding that it was important to be sympathetic in the design to the natural environs of the locality and topography of the site.
"The curvilinear design of the towers echoes the natural landscape and topography of the sandstone escarpments of the locality which drops from Pacific Highway to the harbour."
Inside the 205 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, Lowry said each home was design to have a personalized touch.
"The design for each residence was to have a sense of the interiors being a crafted experience with touch points for personalisation, a high level of finish, including natural stone used extensively throughout the unit types, and resolved detailing with amenities and sightlines prioritised."
One of the major focuses in The Landmark Quarter was on the level of amenity.
"New Hope and Rothelowman wanted to provide amenity that ensured purchasers felt very much like they were ‘at home’, by providing a level of amenity that meant that the luxuries that are available in a single residence, and more, are available in The Landmark Quarter, and that the sense of community would be fostered with shared and exclusive access options available," Lowry said.
The Landmark Quarter features a rooftop with views to the CBD, a ground floor lap pool with sauna and spa, an exclusive dining room and an adjoining kitchen, a games room, a boutique cinema and a gym.
The Landmark Quater sits across a triple site on Marshall Avenue, just 350 metres from St Leonards Station, the new Metro Station and bus links, which all ensure easy access to the city and surrounding areas.
CBRE is marketing The Landmark Quarter, which is currently under construction through iCIRT-rated builder, Binah.
