The first Design Excellence competition entry for our Sydney studio, we pushed the possibilities of volumetric modular construction, whilst respecting the unique heritage of the site in Parramatta.
HTA were invited to participate in a Design Excellence Competition for George Street and Barrack Lane, a heritage-rich site in the centre of Parramatta. Our proposal delivers 352 Build to Rent homes through modular construction, integrated with retail, communal amenity and new public spaces. The design protects the 180-year-old Moreton Bay Fig tree, responds sensitively to surrounding heritage buildings and creates a layered landscape that connects homes, streets and the wider city.
