The Place apartments
Ashfield, Australia
YTO Construction
The Place is an outstanding 8 storey mixed-use development comprising 91 dwellings, including apartments and townhouses, and 7 retail tenancies, only 10km west of the Sydney CBD.
The development’s landscape, spread over three levels, boasts large communal courtyards, landscaped circulation spaces, numerous private courtyards and an extensive green wall wrapping around the top of the residential tower’s entry plaza.
The plaza leads through the generous entry lobby into a pebble garden with a gently bubbling water feature which is centred on the view axis from the entry. Bespoke curved timber seats invite to linger and enjoy the gently undulating curves and mounds in the serene space.
Facing north, a generously-sized resort-feel communal garden on Level 1 features large palms and curved timber seating. More palm trees from the Ground Floor are reaching into the space, overhanging the curved planters and artificial lawn. Viewed from above, this landscape offers a relaxing tableau of lush planting.
