Property description

The site is located on the lower north shore of Sydney. This warm temperate climate zone enjoys warm to hot summers, mild winters and a low diurnal (day–night) temperature range. The site enjoys cooling breezes from the south-east over summer. The prevailing winter breezes come from west to south-west, and from the south (see Design for climate).

The 2,584m2 L-shaped site has one street frontage and very little overshadowing. It is within walking distance of a large shopping centre and bus transportation. The principal designer describes the site as encompassing ‘a moderate cross fall which required all the floor plates to be stepped across and up the site’.
