The glebe project is a multi-unit terrace designed to support the growing population of Sydney’s residents through modernity and sustainability. It features eco-friendly materials and greener solutions to everyday living.

The assignments key goals were to ensure an eco-friendly solution that is modern. A roof top garden, skylight, rainwater collection system & use of sustainable materials are examples of the buildings capability. It contains the usual living necessities with 3 bedrooms, extra powder room, ensuite and garage. Each units layout is identical to each other with 4 floors:

• 0 - Underground garage

• 1 - Living, kitchen, courtyard

• 2 - bedrooms, bathroom

• 3 - Rooftop garden

The layout has been designed to benefit the sites surroundings & offer the best experience for each room. The garage is kept hidden underground while the living area is immediately introduced on the 1st floor with plenty of lighting through the stairs skylights and opposing windows. The 2nd floor also receives natural light and is kept away from the high flow rooms to allow mindfulness to the bedrooms. Continue to the 3rd floor which contains the roof top garden and captivating view of the location. Each floor is easily assessable through the stairs which holds the most lighting as the skylight on top has been designed to benefit from sites sun path.

To me, this project has helped demonstrate the processes of designing a sustainable building that follows government guidelines through DA & CC drawings as well as understanding architectural detailing.
