Parkland Eight

Arches, curves and contrast, softened by timber and planting.

The project

A sculptural white and charcoal façade. Inside, a tall stairwell, herringbone oak and pale veined stone.

Parkland Eight brings together arched glazing, rounded balcony edges and contrasting white and charcoal surfaces. Timber-toned detailing and layered planting soften the sculptural façade. Within, a tall stairwell and glass balustrades give the circulation space an open character, while herringbone flooring adds warmth. Textured joinery, pale veined surfaces and arched bathroom mirrors extend the interplay of clean lines and curves throughout the interior.
