ON THE PARK
FOx JOHNSTON’S newest completed multi residential project,
Wellington on the Park, Waterloo, designed for Barua Group,
includes many hallmarks of the practice’s distinctive architectural
signature: bold sculptural forms, inside/outside permeability,
nuanced use of materiality, internal courtyards and apartment
gardens, and abundant light and space.
This is bold, confident architecture that seamlessly connects
inside and outside, public and private spaces, with a dramatic
saw tooth roof, expansive park views, inner courtyard, private
balconies and rooftop gardens.
Inside, one has a pervasive sense of light, space and wellbeing,
and of remaining intimately connected to the nearby park.
Wellington on the Park comprises 85 units, the top six with
undulating ceilings and double height cathedral living spaces
under a saw topped roofline, providing unparalleled solar access
and space.
Fox Johnston was appointed to design both the architecture and
the interiors for the building, ensuring all aspects of the project
work together to deliver a seamless indoor and outdoor experience
for apartment owners. Apartment orientation and layout, natural
robust materials and even the mirror kitchen splashbacks have
been conceived to enhance this feeling, reflecting the park and
bringing it into the apartment.
The way the master planning of this building has been resolved
ensures that all perimeter apartments faced east and north, and
each apartment benefits from a sunny aspect with views and
outlook.
