Eora Nation

Consisting of 44 apartments and was completed in 2017, Elora is carefully planned amongst a context of heritage buildings, old flats, commercial/retail shops on a steep topography.

The built form is broken into a 2-tier pavilion style which enables the opportunity to maximize density whilst providing an elegant solution to the streetscape, essentially downplaying its mass with deep recesses and a play of light and shade.

With a full central breezeway on each lobby level, the main pedestrian thorough to the rear communal area is linked and is carried through on upper levels. The facade and floor plates have been tailored to maximize the opportunity for natural daylight and cross-flow ventilation.
