About Apartments projects

Apartments respond to the conditions of their site and the needs of the people who live in them. In Australia, a new project must also account for planning controls and shared access. Piccolo House by Woods Bagot is one example to consider alongside its published project information when assessing how a building design responds to a brief.

Apartments

Compare apartment styles through plans and room proportions as well as finishes. Ruru Apartments, Pakuranga by The Building Agency is another reference. Review the available designs to see how each home is arranged and what the documentation covers. An apartment building design guide can help frame questions about site constraints and dwelling layouts.

For a renovation, confirm which walls and services can be altered before developing ideas. Vaucluse Apartment by RAA Architects is one of the listed projects with information on apartment design. Use the plans and details provided to identify questions for the project team, rather than assuming the same changes will suit another building.

What should an apartment building design guide cover?

Start with the site’s planning controls, access and shared circulation. Resolve fire safety and accessibility requirements with the relevant consultants before fixing the building layout.

What should I check on an apartment floor plan?

Check room dimensions, storage and the route between the entry and living areas. Confirm that doors and joinery can open without obstructing that route.

How should I compare apartments projects for a new brief?

Use each project to frame questions about its site, building form and available plans. Check the published information before applying a design decision to a different site.
