Glenside was master planned into seven living villages, each featuring individual character and appeal, combining signature visual and physical links to create an overall sense of place and harmony.
Hallmarked by some of South Australia’s most impressive historic architecture, Glenside is a sophisticated new address in a botanical setting. True to the character of the east, every townhome and apartment will be wrapped in natural beauty; with meticulously manicured spaces, walkways and cycle paths, threading through and connecting the entire community.
A collaboration with Hames Sharley, Glenside was master planned into seven living villages, each featuring individual character and appeal, combining signature visual and physical links to create an overall sense of place and harmony. Changing modern household structures and family needs were reflected through the variety of housing options and densities with innovative and affordable housing products catering for abroad range of lifestyles.
Drawing from the unique landscape qualities of the site the master plan creates a public realm framework with a rich and diverse tapestry of publicly accessible spaces. Each village has a series of gardens that drawn on the unique site character, features and future use and aspirations.
The perimeter open space and major north western park retain the civic and institutional character of the site precinct.
Stage 1 of the master plan will deliver 61 townhouses and 63 apartments.
