Opus Apartments

The vision of Opus on Hutt is to create high quality apartments with all the amenities of a family home, together with the advantages of amazing views and city living lifestyle. The development proposes a 14 storey building with ground floor retail and basement car parking. A mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments over 11 floors provide a total of 45 large, high quality apartments which sits elevated above a 3 storey building podium. The residential floor plans are provided with large setbacks to the sides boundaries to create a highly articulated built form which orientates apartments to the impressive views from its location. Four to five apartments per floor are orientated to the corners to maximise natural daylight and cross ventilation as well as provide privacy and unique outlooks to each apartment. The expression to Hutt Street proposes four forms to scale the building to the proportions of the existing surrounding built forms. Floors are expressed in four storey forms with recessed negative above the podium and on level eight. A recessed gap with curved corners expressed in plan creates a vertical break between the forms separating the horizontally expressed balconies and providing privacy to the apartments. Above level seven the built form to the street sets back a further 3 meters to further reduce the building mass and create a highly articulated and sculptural expression to the overall building. Overall the projects brief to create highly active ground floor retail and unique apartment layouts in size, amenity, quality and design, together with the sculptured built form and unique crafted materials will produce a sought after residential address for Adelaide.
