The site is situated within an area that is predominantly characterized by commercial development and shop-top housing, and is conveniently located just 4km from the Sydney CBD and in close proximity to major employment hubs and public transport.
The design of the 5-storey building features a retention and incorporation of the existing warehouse, preserving the neighbourhood’s character. The new addition to the building is based on simple forms, raw, and utilitarian natural finishes that contrast with bold graphic murals, particularly on the Parramatta Road, courtyard, and Corunna Lane Eastern wall. The bright and bold mural applied to the existing walls creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere.

The proposed building comprises 34 rooms plus 1 manager’s room, with a funky brewery on the ground floor and a generous communal rooftop garden for the residents to use. The buildings are connected by an open courtyard, serving as the heart of the development, where people meet and circulate. The glass lift and open stairs bring constant activity to the space, creating an ideal environment for vertical gardens and casual breakout spaces. The abundance of light and air in the courtyard serves as a green oasis in the midst of the bustling city.
The rooms in the development are designed to be naturally ventilated with an abundance of light. Private open spaces are provided to all units, with fully furnished bespoke designs maximizing internal space, creating multi-functional areas with plenty of storage.
The ground level retail spills out into the courtyard, and the deck at the roof level serves as a stage for community activities. Common amenities such as the lounge room and pool are located on the top of the building, making the most of sunlight and city views.
The goal of the Stanmore co-living project is to provide simple and well-designed accommodation that is socially, financially, and environmentally sustainable. The project goes beyond the construction of a building, creating a vibrant and exciting community where residents can enjoy the young and vibrant neighbourhood, with plenty of public transport and local amenities. The project aims to provide an attractive and sustainable living option for the residents, promoting a sense of community and social interaction.
