Sophia Apartments, Northcote
12-10 • Our hero project, Sophia Apartments in Northcote, delivers charm and character in a 5-storey envelope. The landmark site, as one enters Northcote from the northern suburbs, is all old-red brick and copper facade elements. It draws upon the heritage and history of High Street with beautiful effect. There were brick quarries interspersed throughout the suburb, and the use of bricks similar to those used in the original dentist’s clinic on the site, are testament to this. The metal cladding responds to its exposed north-west orientation and delivers differing visual effects throughout the day.
