First look: Hammond Greens, Chatswood apartment tower revealed
Chatswood is set to welcome one of its most high-end towers to date, with Tian An LFD Developments unveiling its new mixed-use development, Hammond Greens.
Located at 5-9 Gordon Avenue, soaring over the Chatswood Bowling Club, the $67 million Hammond Greens comprises 64 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 27 levels.
Designed by the award-winning FJC Studio, the apartments in Hammond Greens will sit above 1,476 sqm of retail and commercial space, aiming to offer a diverse hybrid work environment and communal spaces to foster connection with the local and broader community.
FJC Studio, who won the design competition for the project last year, said in their Design Statement submitted to the Willoughby Council their concept is for a different type of vertical living.
"Not a conventional tower apartment tower of dark glass but a unique form of vertical living that belongs on the North Shore, draws on the vernacular and materiality of the suburban living, and attracts residents who are drawn to the great beauty of this bushland suburb close to urban and village centres.
"The new built form is defined by the integration of selected native tree and plant species at the podium level and integrated up between the narrow tower forms creates a new suburban, landscaped tower."
They said it will appeal to young professionals, couples, and empty-nesters.
Residents will have access to an oasis pool deck, outdoor gym, yoga room, golf simulator, and expansive floating gardens by Sturt Noble overlooking unobstructed Chatswood streetscape and skyline views.
