AUSTRAL

Austral is a socially self-reliant 'village' of dwellings and shared open spaces with landscaped areas and building forms that respond to a 'future context'. This responsive solution features setbacks and heights that vary in order to create a dynamic Residential centre.

Why is a “village” character important? 

Early urban developments in fringe, semi-rural locations must be socially self-reliant.

Self-reliance demands that common areas provide opportunities for recreation as well as encouraging social interaction between residents.

Social interaction is influenced by coherent pedestrian networks and 'place-making', which depends on the effective design of open spaces and backdrop buildings.

Austral is a high standard residential amenity. Through its lobbies, balconies and ground floor terraces, it provides active street frontages with innovative aesthetical elements for each of the buildings in the complex.
