Coronation Property has revealed their first stage of their recently acquired <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/erskineville-nsw">Erskineville</a> block in the growing Ashmore Estate.

Coronation Property, who <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/nsw/coronation-property-plan-over-1000-apartments-at-newly-acquired-park-sydney-erskineville-site">18 months ago snared around 50,000 sqm of the Ashmore Estate development</a> from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/greenland-australia">Greenland Golden Horse</a>, has submitted plans for&nbsp;a collection of buildings with 146 apartments at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">155 Mitchell Road</a>.

Architecture firm Silvester Fuller won the City of Sydney Design Competition over submissions by FJMT and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/mhn-design-union">MHNDU</a> who supplied a plan jointly with Archer Office.

The brief by the City of Sydney panel was to "develop a superior residential development outcome for the site that reinforces the desired neighbourhood character of Ashmore and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/erskineville-nsw">Erskineville</a>."

The plans by Silvester Fuller were selected by the expert panel as part of the City of Sydney Design Competition, a mandatory part of the planning process for developments of this scale. The panel suggested the scheme by&nbsp;Silvester Fuller offers a unique built form that is the most compliant with the Stage 1 Concept envelope.

"The proposed scale and form are highly responsive to the surrounding existing and future development and presents a strong relationship between the park, the street and the through-site link. The internal planning is considered excellent and highly successful.

"The Silvester Fuller submission included excellent floorplate planning, rigorous apartment layout, three core arrangement with two lifts per core, generous entry lobbies and arrival areas within the apartments which made it stand out from the other submissions. The building separation relationship with the western neighbour is also a positive."

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e157a428-dfdb-463e-be39-89b2d3616b2a" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville"><a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e157a428-dfdb-463e-be39-89b2d3616b2a" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/155-mitchell-road-erskineville"><img alt="Upsy Erko" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e157a428-dfdb-463e-be39-89b2d3616b2a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-03%20at%207.32.45%20pm.png?VersionId=3eUaozKYdE5_fkhPyHjIpcHbIoYl96iR" /></a></a>

The buildings will have 146 apartments, from studios to a single four-bedroom apartment. The majority of apartments are two and three-beds, a large portion of which have an additional study room.

Given strict planning laws don't allow for street-level activation like cafes, Silvester Fuller created apartments which present more as terrace homes. They have two or three-bedrooms, the third bedroom access through sliding doors on the main living area.

Their designs also incorporated a striking pitched roof above the "roof apartments", which are the largest in the development. They have between 110 sqm and 143 of internal living area and a further 66 sqm plus of balconies and wrap around terraces.

Despite no ground-level retail, Silvester Fuller has planned a communal "pavilion in the park", a multi-purpose, bookable room within the garden. There's also further private residential amenity in the form of a rooftop garden in the northern building wing with views of the city.&nbsp;

"This garden has been designed as a collection of outdoor rooms enabling multiple groups and individuals the opportunity to find and occupy their own space," Silvester Fuller noted in their Design Statement.

"The rooftop garden being open to sky with excellent solar access contrasts with the more protected ground plane providing a variety of outdoor spaces suitable for different times throughout the day and seasons all year round."

Silvester Fuller said the vision for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">the project</a> is to reflect the uniqueness and capture the spirit of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/erskineville-nsw">Erskineville</a>.

"Located on the edge of McPherson Park within the Inner West Sydney suburb of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/erskineville-nsw">Erskineville</a>, this neighbourhood is unique. Not as serious as the East, quirkier than the beaches, not as straight as the North shore and certainly edgier than the West.

"<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">The project</a>&nbsp;aims to capture the spirit of this place, the greater neighbourhood and the specific qualities offered by the site itself - fun and joyful - reflecting the anticipated play and recreation offered by the park adjacent.

"Much like the location itself, our vision for the project&nbsp;is to foster a community of multi-cultural, multi-generational occupants and provide moments of joy and delight for all those who pass her by

"<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">The project</a> balances the playful and the pragmatic, the whimsical and the whacky, wrapped in an overall concept focused on creating uplifting spaces to be in and around - a building to make you smile."

The frontage to the new park is direct, with no road between the building and the green.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a01ddc9c-d307-4fca-a584-fd1e8f13d3f3" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/155-mitchell-road-erskineville"><img alt="Upsy Erko" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a01ddc9c-d307-4fca-a584-fd1e8f13d3f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-03%20at%207.32.31%20pm.png?VersionId=bFqOm9vU1rnlrn8yAhvuww2DCcm5vfBK" /></a>

"This presents an opportunity for a closer relationship between the apartment interiors and the park beyond - the building skin able to open freely with reduced acoustic and pollutant pressures"."

"The architectural tones serve as a backdrop to the soft landscape of the park, sending forward the curated collection of native flora. The home types within <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">the project</a> are focused around family life, with families coming in a variety of shapes and sizes. From people living alone with occasional guests through to larger families full of children and pets, there is a diversity of apartments and town houses to call home - a home for everyone in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/upsy-erko-155-mitchell-road-erskineville">the project</a>."

There are sustainable elements&nbsp;including double glazing, rainwater capture and re-use, rooftop solar panels and natural ventilation.

"Our vision is the creation of a new building that makes a positive contribution to its neighbourhood and extends the ecological systems of the masterplan by creating healthy new homes, energising the public realm and supporting a culture of a creative and cohesive residential community."

The Ashmore Estate is the largest precinct identified for urban renewal within the City of Sydney Local Government Area and historically comprised large warehouse buildings. The redevelopment of the Ashmore Estate is a staged development resulting in approximately 1,400 new dwellings, new retail floor space and public domain works.

Ashmore Estate will accommodate around 6,000 residents as development is staged over 10 years.

First look Urban reveal: Coronation Property's plans for Erskineville's Ashmore Estate

Sydney property developer Coronation Property has unveiled plans for the first stages of its $1.5 billion inner-city urban transformation project that will convert a 50,000 sqm industrial site in Erskineville into a new lifestyle destination for Sydney.

Coronation acquired the site at 57 Ashmore Street, at the crossroads of 165-175 Mitchell Street,&nbsp;for $315 million in June 2022 from developer Greenland Golden Horse.

They'll be bringing a much needed&nbsp;1,000 new homes to the Sydney market, a mix of terraces, apartments, and build-to-rent dwellings, all designed to cater to the needs of the discerning urban dwellers living in and around Erskineville.

Joe Nahas, Managing Director at Coronation Property, said the team are&nbsp;proud to be joining the neighbourhood with this significant redevelopment of the largest remaining unencumbered parcel of land in the City of Sydney.

"Our $1.5 billion development will be an incredible addition to Erskineville’s urban landscape – acknowledging the character of the suburb while delivering a new standard of living to the area," Nahas said.

“The site is just over 4km from Sydney’s CBD and situated close to major education, health, and transport hubs yet has been sitting inactive for several years.

"Our grand vision will reinvigorate the site with our ongoing commitment to deliver world-class design, and innovative placemaking to inner-Sydney."

<img alt="Coronation Erskineville" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="683e8181-6a7f-41df-8731-663d70535ca5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-30%20at%209.15.33%20am.png?VersionId=AQrDUqvGs.MHy86HAhyjwsN6FtrAsDuc" />

Part of the project will be a new&nbsp;7,500 sqm public park, the future McPherson Park, will sit in the centre of the masterplan– with green space, unique public art installations, and tree canopies providing residents and the surrounding community open space in which to connect, relax, or exercise.

&nbsp;

Access to the site will be enhanced with a new 20-metre-wide, pedestrian-friendly boulevard weaving through its heart – wider than Pitt Street Mall, the shared pathway will provide convenient foot and cycling access to 5,000sqm of specially curated retail, and an activated park-facing dining precinct.

Earlier this year, Coronation undertook a City of Sydney Design Excellence competition for Residential Building E, with Surry Hills-based architects, Silvester Fuller, delivering the winning scheme.

The Selection Panel’s decision was unanimous.

“The proposed scale and form are highly responsive to the surrounding existing and future development, and presents a strong relationship between the park, the street and the through-site link," the Panel said.

“The internal street connects well with the through-site link, enhancing the pedestrian experience. The entries to the building were highly legible and have a powerful address to the public domain areas, particularly the northern and southern street frontages,” continued the judges."

Penny Fuller, Silvester Fuller Director, said the park edge location has informed a close relationship between building and landscape.

“Our scheme balances the playful and the pragmatic, the whimsical and the wise, wrapped in an overall concept focused on creating uplifting spaces to be in and around – a building to make you smile," Fuller said.

The City of Sydney Council granted development approval in March 2023 for six luxury, three-storey townhouses for Residential Building D for the winning scheme by emerging practice, and Redfern locals, Andrew Burns Architecture.

Principal Andrew Burns revealed that the practice was founded on designing terrace homes in and around Erskineville.

“In a way, the project with Coronation Property is a return to our roots. We have endeavoured to introduce the crafted quality of bespoke architectural houses into the design of the terraces.”

“Our vision was inspired by the neighbouring Victorian-era terraces found in Erskineville and across inner-city Sydney. We drew on the idea of the ‘grand terrace’ that traditionally comprises&nbsp; a group or row of adjacent terraces forming a larger structure while retaining an individual identity for each dwelling,” continued Mr Burns.

Coronation’s plan for vital infrastructure upgrades across the site are well underway to yield long- term benefits for residents, visitors, and the surrounding community.

David Cremona, Coronation’s Group General Manager, said the primary focus is to make a positive contribution to the community.

"To achieve this, we are working closely with the City of Sydney Council and expert consultants to upgrade critical infrastructure.”

“Importantly, our delivery team has devised precise strategies to ensure that these infrastructure upgrades, and the construction of new structures is carried out smoothly and efficiently with the least possible inconvenience to our site neighbours."

Construction is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2023. The 150, Silvester Fuller-designed apartments are scheduled to launch in late 2023 with one-bedrooms starting at $800,000.

Coronation reveal plans for $1.5 billion Erskineville transformation

Crown Group Chairman and CEO Iwan Sunito says that to master something, you must be at one with the object you create.

That's the origins of the name of Crown Group's latest Sydney development, Mastery by Crown in Waterloo, a collection of five visually striking buildings creating a mini-community a stone's throw from the city.

“It’s about being at the top of your game, bringing a lifetime of knowledge and experience to achieve the optimum creative expression,” Sunito said.

“Here at Crown Group we’ve created global icons for the city of Sydney, but now it’s time to up the ante,” he added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=163820]

“Mastery by Crown Group marks the culmination of decades of experience combining to achieve a singular vision. It’s a new era of urban living for Sydney, with a strong emphasis on creating community and connecting people with nature."

The Waterloo&nbsp;precinct has been designed in a collaboration between internationally renowned architects Kengo Kuma, Koichi Takada and Sydney-based Silvester Fuller, with Kuma and Takada taking the reins on the ‘stacked forest’ tower.

The five buildings, ranging from six to 20 storeys, will home 368 apartments, with each building featuring its own creative design. There will be a mix of restaurants, cafes and shops conveniently located along the streetscape, as well as the central east-meets-west eat street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=163813]

The tallest of the five towers at Mastery by Crown Group, Building C, overflows with lush landscaping from the Japanese-inspired balconies and terraces, creating the illusion of a forest in the sky.

“Japanese architecture is more about its simplicity and how architecture and building blends with nature and nature becomes part of the extension of the building", Sunito added.

"They're&nbsp;not trying to create a building that competes with nature but they’re trying to respect nature and make buildings look so beautifully fitting with nature itself.

Revered globally as a mastery of architecture, in 2021 Kengo Kuma was named one of Time Magazines Top 100 most influential people of the year. Mastery by Crown Group will be Kengo’s first residential building in Australia,

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=163814]

“Kengo Kuma is regarded as god of architecture in Japan and it's such a privilege to work with such a master,” said Takada.

Sunito’s long-held dream of working with Kuma was set in motion after a chance visit to the Kuma-designed Great (Bamboo) Wall House in Beijing's countryside, experiencing the best of Japanese architecture and its effects on the daily rhythms of life.

With its pairing of traditional Japanese design principles, particularly elegance in simplicity, and nature, the house made an infallible impression on Sunito.

“We tried to really humanise the architecture, try to humanise the neighbourhood and this is really about giving back to the people. Everything that will come in the Mastery by Crown Group will be very much a human focus",&nbsp;said Sunito.

Kuma said his intention is to create second nature.

"Most buildings try to create contrast with nature, whereas my intention is the opposite," Kuma said.

"I want to create the real nature by some complementary material. I want to create a stacking forest in the city."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=173689]

Mastery by Crown Group is home to the&nbsp;last council-permitted tower for the area, creating an exclusive opportunity to secure views that will be impossible to replicate in Waterloo with existing zoning rules.

Waterloo is seen by many as the Manhattan of Sydney, a former industrial precinct transforming into a vibrant culinary and cultural destination located just four-kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

Situated between Alexandria, Redfern and Moore Park, the area is rapidly evolving into a sought-after destination to call home. There is a wealth of nearby amenities and services including schools and universities, parks and bike trails, as well as restaurants, cafes and bars.

“Waterloo now is what people call a new creative hub, this is the new Manhattan of Sydney - at the centre of everything. You have transport right at your doorstep, including the currently under-construction Metro, as well as access to three major universities, which is quite amazing,” Takada said.

“It’s about being at the top of your game, bringing a lifetime of knowledge and experience to achieve the optimum creative expression,” Sunito said.

Crown Group bring together 'masters at the top of their game' to deliver a ‘stacked forest’ in the sky at Mastery by Crown Group

Property developer, HPG Australia (HPG) has reached a mutually acceptable agreement with the City of Sydney Council in the NSW Land and Environment Court with the outcome allowing the developer to proceed with its $700 million mixed-use development, One Sydney Park.

The talked about development,&nbsp;at 205-225 Euston Road in Alexandria, essentially within the 44-hectare Sydney Park was originally approved by the City&rsquo;s Central Sydney Planning Committee in 2017, however the City of Sydney had rejected the scheme in 2020 stating that it would negatively impact on Sydney Park and that it felt the detailed plans &ldquo;differed greatly&rdquo; from the original concept.

Designed by MHN Design Union (MHNDU), Silvester Fuller (SF) and Sue Barnsley Design, with interiors curated by Tracy Wiles - previously head of interiors with Make Architects -&nbsp;the One Sydney Park project, to be built on the south-eastern edge of Sydney Park, on land formerly owned by Goodman, was previously intended to house 390 apartments and a range of commercial and cultural uses across eight, six-storey buildings.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1096" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.17_am.png" width="1624" /></a>

HPG appealed the decision on the grounds that the detailed designs for the site complied with Council&rsquo;s planning parameters and met all the recommendations set by the City&rsquo;s own design competition panel, who had unanimously endorsed the MHNDU + SF &amp; Sue Barnsley submission.

The latest version of the proposal, submitted to both the NSW Land and Environment Court and the City of Sydney, reduced the number of apartments to 356.

The building mass is pushed back from the park and the perceived overall height of the buildings is decreased with planting and landscape screening the upper levels.

There is also a &ldquo;greatly increased&rdquo; setback to the upper levels of each park-side building, with the greatest setback achieved in the northern most park-side building, &ldquo;where visual sensitivity is at its highest.&rdquo;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1094" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.23_am.png" width="1648" /></a>

The architects stated in the proposal that their vision is to create a place that resonates and extends the ecology of the adjoining parkland.

&ldquo;A blurring of the boundary between built form and the park landscape is achieved by dissolving the built edges of the apartment buildings fronting the park,&rdquo; the architects note.

&ldquo;Where adjacent to the parklands, or visible above the existing trees, the building form takes on a deliberately de-materialised quality. The mass of the building is intentionally blurred, emulating the character of the surrounding tree canopies.&rdquo;

Primely positioned bordering the iconic Sydney Park, the third largest park in inner-city Sydney, One Sydney Park, the first limited release of apartments was launched to the market in March 2018, attracting strong interest from buyers and generated record sales for the suburb.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.29_am.png" width="1762" /></a>

Development Director for HPG Australia Barney Oros expected to appoint a construction company and commence site works before the end of the year.

&ldquo;We have deliberately stayed under the radar since launch and the Court process commenced, but now that we have planning certainty we are looking forward to communicating with the wider community the significant benefits we will be bringing to a disused industrial park,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;Obviously the architecture and landscaping is world class but the ecological benefits, introduction of deep soil into the site, long overdue amenities to this neglected southern end of Sydney Park for the public are all part of our vision for One Sydney Park,&rdquo; Oros said.

HPG has also announced a collaboration with&nbsp;world renown&nbsp;Japanese artist, Fujiko Nakaya who will be engaged to deliver a public art installation unlike any other in Sydney. Having gained international acclaim for her work with ephemeral fog sculptures, the proposed public art will provide a sensory transition between Sydney Park and the public plaza within the development.&nbsp;
