AJ+C’s Burwood Plaza development is a mixed use scheme located
on Belmore Street, close to Burwood Train Station to the west of
Sydney’s CBD. When complete the project will provide around 210
apartments in three residential towers and a 9,000 m2 landscaped
retail podium.The Sydney suburb of Burwood is currently undergoing
major transition and this development has been identified as one of
the key sites for the realisation of Burwood’s new direction. The
project revitalises a rundown car park area to the rear of the
existing Burwood Plaza shopping centre by creating a new landscaped
pedestrian link lined with retail outlets.
Three residential towers, the tallest of which rises to 17
storeys, are arranged around a central landscaped plaza that sits
over the retail podium. Uses already identified for the retail
podium and pedestrian link reflect the local demographic and
include an Asian market and speciality shops, a food court and yum
cha restaurant, and a Chinese medical centre, as well as a
gymnasium and bank. The building block has been broken up into
individual façades along the pedestrian link to create the feel of
a bustling high street. The Chinese theme makes use of colours,
texture and open
fronted retail outlets to inject vitality into the space
and create a vibrant new shopping hub.
The residential accommodation is a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom
apartments, with an average unit size of 77 m2 and a floor space
ratio (FSR) of 4.5:1. The residential buildings have been carefully
arranged on the 6,400 m2 site in order to achieve optimum amenity
for the residents and the neighbouring buildings. Most apartments
enjoy panoramic views of Sydney’s CBD.The landscaping of external
elements has been inspired by traditional Chinese gardens, but
given a contemporary slant by landscape architects Oculus. A public
art wall ‘re-imagines’ the external façade of the existing Burwood
Plaza retail buildings – turning blank wall space into a vertical
garden with integrated planting.Burwood Plaza is the latest of
AJ+C’s landmark mixed use projects to benefit from our expertise in
the field of mixed use architecture and masterplanning.

Our latest luxury residential project (see cover), V by Crown in
Parramatta’s CBD is a beautiful, well conceived building that will
combine with Parramatta Heritage Parklands and the nearby 200 year
old St John’s church to create a unique sense of place in the
Sydney region.V by Crown’s 26 floors of luxury residences sit above
an 1,800 m2 retail podium. At once bold and delicate, the building
projects an understated elegance with sleekly modern aluminium clad
curtain walling and concealed balconies. The glazed exterior
mirrors the energy of its bustling surroundings in the city’s
commercial district.At the northern edge of the site archaeological
remains of dwellings dating back to 1790 have been preserved as
part of a conservation centre. AJ+C worked closely with the project
engineers to ensure that 26 floors of building could be supported
on just four columns, which sit among the heritage items without
disturbing them.The retail podium is intersected by an arcade
which, along with the conservation centre, adds interest and
vitality to the streetscape by increasing the permeability of the
development and activating street frontages onto Marsden Street and
Macquarie Street.V by Crown’s residential tower houses a diverse
mix of 420 apartments and serviced apartments, cleverly arranged to
optimise light and space. A resident ‘clubhouse’ with external
swimming pool, gymnasium, library and media rooms is located on
level two, together with a conference centre. Resident gardens
located on three levels provide pockets of calm retreat. The roof
top garden on level 25 offers spectacular views of Parramatta and
it surrounds.V by Crown has looked beyond the ordinary to deliver a
21st century urban lifestyle experience in Parramatta.
