Solarino House integrates into its neighbourhood, with two buildings centred around a green courtyard. The ground level features an open-air laneway entry, activated by a café and boutique office tenancies that form part of the streetscape.
Residents have access to a communal rooftop deck with BBQs, seating, and a Mediterranean herb garden and orchard, creating opportunities for social interaction and food harvesting.
The design includes double-height warehouse-style lofts on the lower levels, offering a unique apartment mix. Sustainability is a key focus, with rooftop solar, cycling facilities, reduced car dependency due to proximity to Anstey Station, and excellent daylight and cross-ventilation throughout the apartments and workspaces.
