Known as the ‘ESQUE’, HELM was also the developer as well as head contractor of this project comprising 29 apartments with 18 different floor plans, with the design brief requiring an architecturally outstanding building that successfully transitioned between a commercial zone to the west and heritage buildings to the east. An atrium has been included in the western boundary, along with increased setbacks and articulation to the eastern façade providing windows and balconies to the north. The eastern façade is highly articulated and the increased setbacks on the west façade accommodates a green wall. ESQUE has clean geometric lines, rhythmic walls, handcrafted face bricks, masonry that is rendered and painted in a sophisticated colour scheme, glass balustrades and louvre screens. Complementing the streamlined look are horizontal rolled seam blades of zinc on highlighted sections of the façade.   For judging purposes, the penthouse apartment was judged with a floor area of approximately 165 square metres and consists of three bedrooms, study, two bathrooms and three secure car spaces.  High ceilings, timber flooring and high quality tiling and painting completed a most stunning development. A fabulous job.
