Sanctuary at Wentworth Point

A lush residential development on the southern banks of the Parramatta River

Bound by the Parramatta River and Millennium Parklands the site interacts strongly with the local environment.

The ‘natural’ surrounds provide borrowed views that are identified and celebrated. The landscape design seeks to support and bolster surrounding biodiversity and habitat whilst creating a pleasing, visually and experientially rich landscape. The landscape structure and form responds to the sites locale through ‘fluid’ forms and arrangement of elements. Shifting, diverging, and converging elements and forms interplay with the natural context suggesting sinuous connections. 

Sanctuary sits on the southern banks of the Parramatta River, with its 3 residential towers centered around a raised podium concealed by lush native planting and providing sweeping views across the surrounding landscape.

Raised concrete planters create intimate seating nooks with their cranking forms and give privacy to courtyards. The landscaping integrates several water features that cascade from the podium down to street level and meander through the public domain into the main lobby entry. The theme of ‘One with nature’ is heavily embodied within this connection between landscape and architecture.
