Feature Projects
Multi-Resi through SSDA
Balfour Apartment, Lindfield
Balfour Apartments is a high-end residential development within the leafy suburb of Lindfield, delivered through the SSDA pathway. Studio IZ’s landscape approach focused on reimagining contemporary apartment living within an increasingly dense urban environment, exploring how meaningful connections with nature can be integrated into everyday life.
Health & Wellbeing
MS Plus Wellbeing Centre
A world-leading facility designed to support people living with Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions. Working in collaboration with DEM, Studio IZ was closely involved in the detailed design and construction documentation of the external landscape works, with a focus on creating a calm, accessible and welcoming environment that supports wellbeing, comfort and everyday use for visitors, staff and the wider MS community.
Boutique Living
Kew Palm House, Bellevue Hill
Studio IZ was engaged to review the approved landscape design and develop the scheme through the detailed design phase, working closely with the architectural and engineering teams to support the successful realisation of the design vision. Set on a steep site with complex geological conditions and significant topographical change, the project required a sensitive and highly coordinated approach to levels, structures and landscape detailing, while responding carefully to the established character of the site and its surrounding context.
Boutique Living
Belmont House
Belmont House is a collection of 16 high-end boutique residences in the heart of Alexandria, set within a site with a strong industrial heritage as the former D.S. McCulla & Son steel tubing factory. Retained brick façades and original steel gantry cranes form an important part of the site’s character. Studio IZ was engaged from early concept design through design development, construction certification and construction delivery, working closely with the project team to create a landscape response that complements the heritage fabric while providing a refined and highly liveable environment for residents.
Private Residential
Waterhouse, St Ives
Waterhouse is a high-end private residence positioned along the ridgeline of St Ives, overlooking the surrounding rolling hills and expansive green landscape. Studio IZ developed a highly tailored landscape response for the external gardens, shaped by the site’s elevated setting, outlook and architectural character.
Multi-resi, DA
Lot 105, Lachlan's Line
A high-rise residential development comprising two towers within the established Lachlan’s Line precinct. Landscape concept design and Tender documentation were delivered for the project including public domain interface between the buildings, integrating commercial kiosks, shopfront dining, pedestrian thoroughfares and landscape areas. The design focused on creating an active, welcoming and well-connected ground plane that supports everyday movement, social interaction and the broader character of the precinct.
