Project Description

The Foundry’s striking façade makes an impressive statement on its corner site. Reminiscent of the warehouses of Glebe’s past, its modern take on this industrial heritage is unique for the area – with a brickwork base in minimal colours, and asymmetrical arches designating entryways and special spaces. On the upper floors at each end of the building, the darker tones of the penthouses creates a stunning contrast, which is carried through in detailing below. The windows and wide balconies of the upper apartments are framed with the traditional warehouse arches. These descend into columns on either side of the apartments’ expansive windows,letting natural light and ventilation pour into each home. All making for a façade full of negative space that lights up spectacularly at night. Glebe’s creative village character permeates the Foundry’s walls. Inside you’ll find a soundproof music room – for jam sessions or kids’ instrument practice. Head upstairs and find a private partition amongst the lush planting of the rooftop gardens. With stunning city views before you it’s the perfect spot to pause and reflect, or let inspiration take hold. Paying particular attention to important,communal areas – such as the rooftops and entrances – Turner have created spaces that naturally draw you in. Double-height lobbies welcome those arriving on foot, with the brick arch motif carried through the space. With paving and plants in abundance, the entrances to the buildings integrate the landscape to soften the transition from outdoors to in and give you the most welcoming welcome home.
