THE OGILVIE

Applecross, Western Australia

Spring 2022 - Current

Property of Plus Architecture

​

​

The existing building is innovatively repurposed, adapted, and extended to create a contemporary and functional space with a childcare centre, medical suites, serviced apartments, and commercial tenancies, offering diverse amenities for the community. 

​

The design focuses on bringing large portion of external spaces into the design while pushing the internal spaces outwards to blur the outdoor-indoor spaces. The use of natural materials and integration of green facade, solar energy focus operation, and passive solar design principles make this project a sustainable building in its conception and experience. The adaptive reuses the existing structure, reduces upfront carbon emissions and results in a high-quality cost-conscious design. Furthermore, the design also included ample opportunities for public art and activation at street levels on both sides of the building further enhance its appeal to make it a recognizable landmark in the neighbourhood.

​

The project development approval has been granted and design development is currently progressing.
