被BKK建筑事务所描述为对 “当地历史性住宅类型 “的当代重新诠释，Cirqua公寓将新的和模糊的形式元素编织到墨尔本郊区的一个成熟的住宅区，发挥了在集体记忆中根深蒂固的独栋住宅的熟悉感。
Described by BKK Architects as a contemporary reinterpretation of “local, historical housing types,” Cirqua Apartments weave new and obscure formal elements into an established residential neighbourhood in suburban Melbourne, playing on the familiarity of the single-home dwellings ingrained in the the collective memory.
这些公寓位于伊万豪郊区的一个陡峭的斜坡上，通过其材料和体积构成来呼应当地特色。风化砖、立缝金属和木质隔断反映了周围装饰艺术和联邦时代住宅的材料语言。
Situated on a steeply sloping block in the leafy suburb of Ivanhoe, the apartments echo local character through their materiality and volumetric composition. Weathered brick, standing seam metal and wooden partitions reflect the material language of the surrounding art deco and federation era homes.
砖砌的大盒子在不同的深度上凸显出来，复制了郊区街景的节奏，并留下了一个巨大的 “前院”。六个大的椭圆穿透外墙，引入了形式上的创新，并减少了建筑的整体质量，使其在单层和双层的环境中更加舒适。这也得益于陡峭的坡度，当从道路上看去时，建筑的大部分位于视线之下。
Large brick boxes project at various depths, replicating the rhythm of a suburban streetscape and leaving a substantial ‘front yard’. Six large oculi puncture the facade, introducing formal inventiveness and reducing the overall building mass to let it sit more comfortably within its single and double storey context. This is also assisted by the steeply sloping site, allowing the bulk of the building to sit below the line of sight when viewed from the road.
舷窗为室内的公寓创造了一个玻璃窗，使其充满了光线。窗户设置了一种正式的语言，这种语言在内部延续到整个建筑的细节中，如灯具、门把手和瓷砖。
The porthole windows create vitrines to the apartments inside, flooding them with light. The windows set up a formal language which is continued internally throughout the building in details such as light fittings, door handles and tiles.
BKK建筑事务所表示，公寓的设计非常注重无障碍和被动的环境控制，这将使居民获得与家庭住宅相关的舒适感。这说明墨尔本公寓的构思方式发生了转变–从投资者市场到自住者市场，需要更高质量的设计成果。
BKK Architects say that the apartments have been designed with a strong focus on accessibility and passive environmental control, which will allow residents the comfort associated with a family home. This speaks to the shift in the way apartments in Melbourne are being conceived – from an investor market to owner-occupier market, necessitating higher quality design outcomes.
