Overview

In line with our approach to resident health and wellbeing, the site we chose is situated opposite Alma Park, which has ample green space for exercising and socialising outdoors.

St Kilda has long been an exemplar of high-density architecture, owing to its historically migrant demographic, largely from continental Europe. This project builds on that design legacy, which views high-density living as a choice rather than a compromise.

A shared garden runs along the east side of the block and opens onto a communal lawn shaded by an elm tree. The ample vegetation connects the building to the street and creates opportunities for residents to interact.

Each apartment will be distinguished by a unique element or feature—such as a bay window, sunroom or juliette balcony—to ensure it has an individual character that the occupant can connect with.

For over twenty-five years, Kerstin Thompson Architects have explored how architecture can respond to local conditions to positively shape lives and communities.
