The site for this two unit development forms part of the Euskara master plan and subdivision. The apartments are stacked, with the lower three bedroom unit accessed from Rendall Street and the upper two bedroom unit accessed by an internal road.

The apartments are positioned to look over the green spaces of Basque Park and beyond. With direct pedestrian access to the park and a short walk to theatres, cafes and restaurants and the downtown city waterfront, these inner city apartments have the best of all worlds.

The canted roof form hangs in suspension over two solid forms distinguished by varying materiality, and a central glazed entryway separates the structure. Fixed louvres are carefully placed in between the upper level and the sloping road to ensure privacy.
