The Esplanade is an experiment in delivering higher densities into an environment characterised by single storey dwellings on single allotments. The coastal location, with spectacular views to the sea and Port Noarlunga, has required the development of a program which maximises the number of dwellings orientated to the sea.In order to achieve this, the dwellings, whilst vertically stacked in the traditional manner, have been configured as ‘L’ shape forms which provide a solution to the developer’s requirement to maximise the views.
