Akoya delivers an architectural moment that bridges the contrasting typologies of the urban and the residential experience.

Transitioning Architecture

Situated on an important artery connecting Sydney’s northern suburbs to the CBD, Akoya sits on a site that is the transition point from low-density residential houses to high-density developments.

The design is made up of two languages, creating an architectural expression that transitions the urban scale of Pacific Hwy along Doohat Avenue.

Two Distinct Languages

The primary language is a response to the urban context along Pacific Highway, taking cues from the strata inherent in sandstone, a material which is well recognised and in the Sydney context.

The secondary language responds to the residential features of the neighbours along Doohat Avenue, framed views created by verandah posts and simple balustrade designs that reflect the residential functions behind.

The pavilion that sits above the Doohat Avenue building is a recessive built form. Reflective glass, perforated shading devices and planting provide a form that changes throughout the day and night and onward throughout the seasons.

Interiors

The interior design frames life in Akoya around rituals – arrivals and departures, the way we start and end each day. The design centres around these rituals, specifically at the two times of day lives typically follow domestic routines – morning and evening, presented as two design options to appeal to the discerning local market.
