34 Dwellings
+ Retail / Commercial

Our third project with Hone.

Wave is a mixed-use development located in the inner western Sydney suburb of Marrickville. The design is a reinterpretation of dense inner city living, promoting a divergence of all users living and working in the development resulting in an enriched environment of social equity and inclusion.

The development comprises 34 apartments above retail tenancies activating the street at ground and a commercial tenancy at its heart orientated towards the central courtyard.

Materials employed in the development are robust, low maintenace and befitting the urban context in which the development is set. Off-form concrete is softened through curved edges whilst face brickwork adds warmth to the facade pallet. Metal blades ‘blinker’ sight lines between dwellings and add a layer of lightness to the building envelope.
