The project is part of 2.3 hectares masterplan within large suburban site, which due to the adjacent uses and surrounding road system provides a peaceful inner-suburban Brisbane setting. The underlaying intention of the masterplan design is to create a series of private inner garden sanctuaries for residents and visitors which are visually connected to the open spaces of the existing racetrack.

The design of the building builds upon the principles of masterplan design, proposing a five storey building split into two wings and wrapped around internal courtyards. Each residential room takes advantage of either northern or southern solar orientation and includes private balcony taking advantage of subtropical climate.

Form of the building is articulated with a series of extruded and framed balconies, whilst the selection of building materials pays tribute to the traditional single storey residential buildings typical in the area and provides a familiar reference for the residents.
