Our vision

Neighbourhood connection in an emerging suburb

For people and place, we designed 38 Albermarle Street to create connection – to the existing neighbourhood, to the city, and to each other. We kept the façade of the old building as a nod to the surrounding area. Shared spaces support neighbourly connections.

Many of the residents who currently live here were connected during the construction process. Our first project in Kensington, we decided to build here because we wanted more people to have access to good design closer to the city.

I just love the modernity of our home. The idea that it's fresh, interesting, and sustainable in its design but also still homely. It’s the perfect size for us and Klaus.
