Unbelievably utilising just a standard home site, the Avalon building presents a large sweeping zinc-clad curved form that belies its small-scale origins creating visual impact yet maintaining simplicity and elegance. Designed as a walk-up style building with three stairs accessed via a side walkway, Avalon does not have internal common corridors; the stairs lead straight to apartment entries and at ground level access is direct to courtyards. All dwellings have dual frontage promoting excellent natural cross-ventilation, solar and light access. Simple use of natural and low maintenance materials and passive design elements make for a sustainable outcome.
