Pier Street Residences

Pier St extends to the shore and continues as Altona Pier out into the bay. The architecture evokes the experiences of this beach close by.

The glistening sunlight on the waves is translated into the dappled light filtering through perforated screens.

This sheer envelope contains a layer of terraces, outdoor rooms that are private and protected. These mediate between the domestic interior spaces of the residences and the urban context and expansive surrounding coastal landscape.

The greenery of the foreshore reserves is echoed in the landscaped courtyard running through the heart of the project.

Raised over the ground floor, this secluded communal garden opens up the building to views toward the sea and lets sunlight reach all apartments.

The two blocks are connected by a series of bridges overlooking this shared landscape.
