Northbourne Housing

The partnership was established in 2009 by Matthew Bennett and Marcus Trimble to contribute to a broad range of projects, from large strategic masterplans to minor interventions in the public and private domain. Current projects include the refurbishment of the Seymour Centre, a social learning space for Macquarie University, an installation for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a house museum within central Sydney and various projects for the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. We do not bring a preconceived understanding or approach to a project. Tinshed by Raffaello Rosselli.

Rather than replace the crumbling structure, Raffaello Rosselli chose to retain the rusty corrugated cladding of the two-storey building so that from the outside it looks mostly unchanged. "The humble tin shed is an iconic Australian structure," he explains. Incredible vertical gardens attached to the OUTSIDE of luxury apartments in Central Park, Sydney.

The units were designed back-to-back, with a slice cutting the block of 10 residences diagonally. This diagonal cut, a slight rotation from the orthogonal norm, exposes the building faces to two open spaces between the blocks, rather than two blind facades of adjacent blocks. Also it provides a public service in the form of a short cut. [If I can just point out the humour of this: the architects designed a new living block, all the way down to the obligatory dark alleyway] Within this cut the service elements such as stairs, technical facilities, and storage can be hidden from view, in the dark zone.
