The Auburn: Splinter Society’s Australian apartments

The project is a series of individual homes sharing a glistening façade, screened by a bronze metal mesh which capture afternoon light

by Georgina Johnston 30 November 2021 Metal in architecture

The design utilises construction expertise to create a point of difference in the bespoke multi residential market.

The façade is punctuated by a series of refined, industrial steel frames requiring intricate metal work. These create a continuity across the façade while breaking up the programme into distinctly different areas. Across the façade, these frame outlooks, balconies and even occasionally outdoor seating. The finer qualities of the upper level are grounded with a solid, textured natural stone base.

As a grand entrance, the stone follows up a dramatic 9m high void which is activated by light diffusing across the rough texture at different angles through the day from the large skylight above.

Connecting with the architecture, the raw stone also carries into the interiors of the generous apartments, making bespoke, tactile details in the kitchens and ensuites. 

Every apartment is distinctly different from one another, with each having a unique configuration with kitchen, fireplace, study space, and built-in seating and private outdoor space.
