Development approval has been granted by the City of Ryde for two residential towers comprising 255 units in Macquarie Park, northern Sydney.
The towers, designed by AJC Architects and landscape architects Place Design Group, will be established at 88 Waterloo Road. The two towers are connected by a two- and three-storey brick podium, which wraps around the building’s street frontages. The podium accommodates a mix of retail, commercial and residential spaces, while the towers are primarily residential.
According to a communique from AJC Architects, the design integrates bioclimatic strategies to optimise natural light, ventilation and thermal comfort. The release noted that naturally ventilated circulation spaces have been integrated throughout the building. Open balconies positioned on the north-facing sides of the towers capture sunlight, while enclosed balconies on the south side help to retain heat during cooler months.
The landscape design features a large communal space that provides direct access to adjacent parks and the street.
AJC director Brian Mariotti stated, “The 88 Waterloo Development redefines urban living in Macquarie Park by blending high-quality residences with natural beauty, sustainability, and comfort.”
