Plus were able to achieve a successful outcome through the incorporation of residential style materials (brick slips) coupled with organic concrete shapes to create oversized balconies capable of housing suburban gardens in the sky. The brick façade cladding is an integral part of the scheme providing an attractive, non-combustible, UV stable, frost resistant façade material. The brick slips were installed using an adhesive fix system and coupled with custom made corners such that the end result cannot be distinguished from heavier, slower to install traditional brickwork.

Facing the high street, the façade design showcases KLAY Classics Bushfire KBS SZE 2096 and Finkenwerder Red 2101 in a red pallet complementing colours in the adjoining residential streetscapes. Facing the internal courtyard the architects chose Einfach Black Palace KBS SKV 2043 grouted with a light coloured grout to create a striking contrast showing off the curved balcony structures. The outdoor BBQ and dining area adopts a softer product Einfach Graphite Brown KBS SKV 2040 which sets off the adjoining planting scheme.

The façade systems adopted at Royal Ascot Residences require little to no maintenance and will contribute to keeping body corporate costs low for years to come, a practical benefit to add to the masterstroke design.
