The building’s organic architectural language and natural material palette are drawn from the honed form of a river pebble, which has been smoothed over time by the interaction with rain, wind and water. The building has been shaped to respond to its context, smoothed edges projecting to the estate beyond contrasting with rebated sections that draw landscape up and through the form. The dual forms respond similarly to the natural conditions, with apartments orientating to northern aspect and the facade folding such that apartments on the rear portion can still access daylight and views.

Aire seeks to provide a highly considered, and quality home for its residents, a place where they can embrace connections to the natural world. It also seeks to create a community, where the residents can interact and come together, in their shared active recreation spaces, or more contemplative areas. The design focuses on the lifetime of this experience, with the presence and permanence of the architecture only improving over time as the landscape develops and grows.
