Situated in Honeysuckle along Newcastle’s Harbour, the scale of Horizon mediates between that of the envisaged taller buildings to the west and the approved run of buildings to the east. The project is articulated as a series of three related but distinct building forms that create landscape spaces in between and allow rear apartments to acquire long water views across the internal courtyards. Incorporating a diversity of residential accommodation, the development comprises 110 new apartments with generous external spaces in the form of terraces, balconies or roof gardens. Retail frontages on ground floor will activate the site’s key corners and provide important public spaces along two ‘major precinct view corridors’ in both Cottage Creek to the site’s west, and Steel Street, to the site’s east.
