Scale
140 residences, 1 club, 1 hotel

A city block where wellness is the connective tissue between residences, a club and a hotel rather than an amenity in any one of them.

Three uses that would normally be separated by service cores are instead linked by a single ground-level landscape that all three share.

The wellness offer is planned as a network: a club at the centre, residential courts around it, and a hotel that borrows the same facilities out of hours.

Dwell leads wellness strategy, architecture, landscape and technical design.

Wellness masterplan
Block masterplan
  1. 01Movement loop

    A continuous route links all three uses at ground level.

  2. 02Daylight orientation

    Massing stepped so every court receives winter sun.

  3. 03Biophilic edge

    Sixty mature trees retained or transplanted within the block.

  4. 04Quiet zone

    Residential courts held away from the two busiest streets.

Wellness planned as a network across a whole block rather than a facility inside one building.

Each point records a wellness decision fixed at masterplan stage.
