Awarded to MAB Corporation, the development will include a boutique hotel, integrated commercial and retail offering and an employment hub
The Brompton Gasworks Redevelopment is a landmark 5.8-hectare urban renewal project that will transform a former industrial site into a vibrant mixed-tenure neighbourhood of more than 800 homes, including over 15% affordable housing. Defined by the adaptive reuse of significant heritage structures, generous public realm comprising 25% of the site area, and a commitment to 100% renewable energy, the masterplan establishes a new benchmark for sustainable, community-focused living.
Following a limited design competition, our studio was appointed by MAB, in collaboration with Enzo Caroscio Architects (ECA), to design the first residential release within the precinct.
The project comprises 15 townhouses across two distinct housing typologies, each carefully shaped by its context, orientation and intended residents.
Rather than adopting a singular architectural response, the homes are individually resolved to enrich the character of the emerging neighbourhood while contributing to a cohesive streetscape.
Overlooking the new park, the Third Walk residences are generous three-storey, four-bedroom homes designed for families and downsizers. Living spaces are organised to capture northern light, frame views across the precinct and extend seamlessly onto expansive terraces, blurring the boundary between the interior and the surrounding open spaces.
Addressing Drayton Street, this typology is tailored to first-home buyers and young professionals. Open-plan living spaces flow directly to landscaped terraces, blurring the threshold between inside and out while providing adaptable, light-filled homes suited to contemporary urban lifestyles.
Across both typologies, the architecture balances refinement with robustness, drawing on passive design principles to maximise daylight, natural ventilation and thermal comfort. Carefully integrated planting softens the built form, contributes to biodiversity and reinforces the landscape-led character of the precinct.
Both housing typologies have achieved a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating through an all-electric design, high-performance building envelope and environmentally responsive passive design strategies.
Sales and marketing have successfully launched, with construction scheduled to commence in mid-2027.
