In the spotlight
Grand design: Baliol Street, College Park
Our City contains many excellent intact examples of residential and commercial built heritage from the Victorian era and beyond.
However, as the City evolves and more contemporary developments feature on our urban landscape, it is important to ensure that each complements, and is complemented by, its surroundings.
Embracing cutting edge contemporary design while finding balance with historical context can present challenges.
Architects at Grieve Gillett Anderson worked closely with the Council to design this College Park home which they say, “Despite it’s historical context, this dwelling gives way to an edgy modernist building that responds to contemporary ease and practicality of busy family life”.
The development has been touted as a sensational design by David Brown, the Council’s Heritage Advisor, who also recognises its value in the streetscape.
