To the north of the site the gable ends to the historic High Bay Building have been retained while the party walls and roof have been rebuilt in their original form to accommodate openings for balconies, windows and doors to two-storey terrace and loft apartments.

Two new 5 storey apartment buildings, separated by the new pedestrian laneway, define the frontage to Denison Street. The buildings are vertically articulated by a single storey brick base and a setback top floor. Solid masonry up stands and a combination of fixed and operable louvred screens provide apartments with privacy to the street and protection from low angle western sun. On the courtyard side large balconies and full height windows maximise city and park views to the east over the 2 storey terraces. These multi-core buildings ensure that a high percentage of apartments enjoy cross ventilation and a dual aspect while separate entries activate the street. These entries have ‘through lobbies’ that provide a visual connection between the street and the internal courtyard.

A third 5-6 storey apartment building fronts Parramatta Road to the north of the site. Here balconies have glass acoustic screens that minimise the impact of traffic noise from Parramatta Road while allowing apartments to enjoy good solar access and views. The compact one bedroom apartments adopt a number of design features that aim to provide flexibility, maximise efficiency and enhance the sense of space.
