Project summary

Doing more with less is the underlying principle driving the design at HighGround in Denman Prospect. Designed across three tiers, each building offers a different unit typology, providing housing choice, diversity and affordable housing options. With generous 3–bedroom townhouses, compact townhouses, as well as 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, HighGround seeks to provide options for a variety of living situations. All homes feature a multi–purpose space or study essential in our modern and flexible work from home environment. Each dwelling, whether it be townhouse or apartment, is designed with livability, efficiency, and warmth in mind. All living spaces are flooded with natural light from the northern aspect, while balconies offer views over the Molonglo Valley. The exterior material tones are warm, yet fresh and clean lines provide a flattering backdrop for the landscaping. Interiors are inspired by natural materials and warm undertones of raw cotton, leather, and charred timber.
