Mosman

A local developer has lodged plans for an apartment project in the Sydney's affluent suburb of Mosman.&nbsp;

The development, at 5 Brady Street near Spit Junction and Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, is currently home to a four-storey former aged care facility, which will be retained in the $16.3 million development, with intentions to reduce the existing height and bulk of the building, in addition to internal wall alterations to accommodate the proposed apartments.&nbsp;

The proposed development intends to reduce the height and the bulk of the existing building, with alterations to the internal walls to accommodate the proposed apartments.&nbsp;

Just 13 apartments will be constructed across the 1516 sqm site, with two two-bedroom and 11 three-bedroom residences.&nbsp;

Multi-disciplined design practice PBD handled the architecture for the project, with Managing Director, Paul Buljevic, noting in the group’s design statement that the proposal reflects the current market demands in Mosman.&nbsp;

Taking inspiration from its locale, the building takes on a restrained palette, with brick and metal cladding donning the exteriors, with screens and battens adding an elegant finish.&nbsp;

The elevations have been varied throughout, responding to sun, views and the setbacks within the building, with foliage and landscaping spilling over the edges.&nbsp;

The apartments have been designed to maximise the building’s north-facing aspect, inviting natural light and cross flow ventilation in.

“Apartments are open plan in design providing a free flowing living quality with generous open space for occupant flexibility," the report stated.

Each will connect to a private open space, with the ground floor apartments benefitting from external courtyards which are oriented toward the street, promoting further street activation.&nbsp;

&nbsp; 
A close collaboration with Ground Ink Landscape Architects has resulted in extensive planting and trees throughout. The original landscaping to the front of the building will be retained, maintaining the site’s current street character, while the north-west boundary will have additional deep planting, providing privacy to the building as well as solar shading in the summer months.&nbsp;

Drawing upon the unique heritage of the neighbourhood, predominantly native planting has been utilised throughout, blending the boutique building into the streetscape.&nbsp;

Lush landscaping will be incorporated across each of the common areas as well, with the ground floor and rooftop communal space brimming with greenery.&nbsp;

Crowning the building will be an exclusive four-bedroom apartment, set across two levels, with an extended balcony space alongside the communal rooftop deck, complete with alfresco dining/seating and a spa.&nbsp;

Future residents will be within close proximity to a range of everyday essentials, including public transport, supermarkets, recreation and leisure facilities and schools.&nbsp;

The now national apartment developers,&nbsp;Sun Property Group, are heading back to Sydney’s Lower North Shore for their latest residential project, with plans submitted for a nearly 1600 sqm site in Mosman.

The group has previously developed in the area, with their award-winning central junction apartments, Ashton - which were named in honour of artist and teacher Julian Ashton – also in Mosman, along with projects across Cremorne, Lane Cove and Willoughby.

SPG’s latest acquisition at 64-66 Spit Road is the home of the old Mosman Post Office, which will be transformed into 34 luxury apartments, along with retail tenancy space.

Sydney-locals, A+ design will handle the design of the mixed-use site that SPG say will be developed to suit the owner-occupier and local business owner.

A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be on offer, ranging from 80 sqm to 125 sqm internally.

Each adjoins to generous winter gardens, which have been designed as an extension of the living spaces, so that views and outdoor living can be maximised.

Crowning the building will be a communal residents’ area, complete with dining space and seating areas, basking in landscaped gardens and greenery.

Currently under-construction and designed again by a+ design, SPG will soon deliver a collection of apartments to Lane Cove, with, Lane Cove Central, along with 19 two and three-bedroom apartments at Neutral Bay with, Bala.

SPG recently branched out into the Melbourne market with Euroka in Toorak, one of Melbourne's blue chip suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109759 project_image_fid=185211]

Euroka&nbsp;is inspired by Melbourne’s iconic Roy Grounds House – once home to one of Victoria’s most influential modern architects.

The renowned architect and design firm,&nbsp;Carr Design, has created the 10 luxury apartments, which includes two ultra-luxury penthouses.

They have another site in Toorak at 226-228 Williams Road which will also home&nbsp;a boutique apartment project.

Earlier this year they secured a Chatswood site with a view to create two towers and around 180 apartments.

A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be on offer, ranging from 80 sqm to 125 sqm internally.
