Verdant Apartments | Perth, WA
2020 Award Winner - Australian Institute of Architects WA Chapter Awards: The Harold Krantz Award for Multiple Housing
Verdant Apartments has achieved a high standard of architecture, elevated well above a typical commercially competent outcome. In an apartment market where saleability is governed by finishes, inclusions, features and branding, MJA Studio’s aspirations in Verdant go beyond commercial feasibility and market appeal, to create an apartment tower of enduring architectural quality.
The building is well composed, both at street level and expressed from a distant view. Future adjacent development is anticipated, ensuring relevance into the future.
Apartments are well planned, coherent and articulate, making clever use of space and external walls to give an aspect, a sense of design, and liveability that is not typical. Balconies are well arranged and detailed to provide privacy and amenity; operable screening and sun shading incorporated as both compositional and functional elements. The standard of architectural detailing and craftsmanship differentiates this building from many of its peers.
Communal areas are well considered for their capacity to adapt to emerging and future living patters and lifestyle expectations.
Verdant is a well-executed, disciplined, thoughtful and affordable apartment development designed to appeal to younger and more forward-thinking occupants. It sets a new standard in Perth and will contribute to improving design as well as community perception and attitude to high density apartment living.
