Alumuna住宅坐落在一个具有挑战性的L形场地上，并激活了其对邻近社区的双街面。由于建筑的大部分形式都包含在内侧，因此我们的方法是在两个狭窄的外墙实现尽可能多的运动–一个在约翰斯顿街，另一个在劳斯街。从动感雕塑的理念出发，外墙呈现为一个戏剧性的 “协奏曲”，其外观在一天中不断变化。

The Alumuna Residences are situated on a challenging L-shaped site and are activating its dual street frontage to the adjacent neighbourhood. With the majority of the building’s form contained inboard, the approach is to achieve as much movement as possible on the two narrow facades – one on Johnston Street and the other on Rouse Street. Drawing from ideas of kinetic sculptures, the facades present as a dramatic concertina whose appearance is constantly changing through the day.

这两个立面是对自然材料的单色研究；混凝土、木材、黑钢和青铜镜面玻璃。底层和顶层两侧的凹陷木材包层与书本相匹配，玻璃建筑似乎漂浮在中间。在四层公寓中，玻璃幕墙巧妙地来回倾斜，创造出一种反射和折射的游戏，从外面看去，视线被扭曲，故意被遮挡。

The two façades are monochromatic studies in natural materials; concrete, timber, black steel and bronze mirrored glass. Book-matched by recessed timber cladding flanking the ground and penthouse level, the glass building appears to float between. Across the four apartment levels, the glazed façades subtly angle back and forth to create a play with reflectivity and refraction, with sightlines from outside distorted and intentionally obscured.

从天然木材覆盖的底层进入，住户们被欢迎到一个沉浸式的、大气的大厅。这种刻意的戏剧化的入口感参考了外墙的协奏曲，并立即将人们的注意力引向建筑的深处。沿着主线墙的定制抽象艺术装置，通过其深色青铜材料的光泽和琥珀色重点照明的温暖光芒，在其形式和深度上增加了一种质感。青铜色贯穿门厅，创造了一种通向公寓的过渡感。

Entering through the natural timber-clad ground level, residents are welcomed into an immersive and atmospheric lobby. The deliberately theatrical sense of entry references the concertina of the façade and immediately draws the focus deeper into the building. The custom abstract art installation along the primary linear wall adds a sense of texture in its form and depth through the patina of its dark bronze materiality and the warm glow of the amber accent lighting. The bronze carries through the foyer, creating a sense of transition leading to the apartments.

与外墙的活力相对应，室内的宁静体验被支持空间运动的弯曲细节所强调。自然材料继续向内延伸，大理石厨房长凳元素以雕塑般的方式坐落在轻木地板上。高度精细的细木工制品和存储提供了支持元素的隐蔽性，强调了内部的精致感。坐落在精品公寓之上的是顶层公寓，以较深的木材和天然石材饰面的高级调色板完成。

Counteracting the dynamism of the façade, the peaceful interior experience is emphasised by curving details that support movement through space. Natural materiality continues inward, with marble kitchen bench elements sitting sculpturally upon light timber flooring. Highly detailed joinery and storage offer concealment of supporting elements, emphasising a sense of refinement within. Sitting above the boutique apartments is the Penthouse, finished in an elevated palette of darker timber and natural stone finishes.

Alumuna住宅提供了一个雕塑般的动态外墙，反映了邻近环境的一瞥。通过单一的材料及其与光线的相互作用，创造出视觉抽象的理念，为沿街景观提供了多种体验。

The Alumuna Residences offer a sculptural and dynamic façade reflecting composed glimpses of the neighbouring context. Ideas of visual abstraction created through a singular material and its interplay with light, offer a multitude of experiences along the streetscape.
