By Novak + Middleton
The Alpha Apartment complex provides 26 high quality inner city apartments with ground floor commercial spaces. With only four apartments on each floor and its own lobby the building has a boutique and neighbourly feel.
This is a building that exhibits three dimensional articulation of building form to reduce the visual impact of the building, mitigate wind effects and create a strong architectural identity. Cantilevered decks extend over the pavement and engage with the surrounding area. The roof has been designed to include two cut outs that frame the sky above and create a unique and distinctive corner to the building.
