Spacecraft Architects

Mid-rise apartment winners

Street view of 4-storey mid-rise apartment block. The building is made from brick, with white corridors and timber door frames. There are vertical gardens growing up the front of the building.

Spacecraft Architects’ design creates spacious, open apartments with a strong connection to the outdoors.

Wide-aspect apartments will give residents greater sense of space, and there are a variety of different household configurations on every floor.

Roof overhangs wrap around the long sides of the building. Overhangs are a design feature that help keep the building cool and create shaded areas for people to sit or walk. There are ground-level gardens and rooftop social spaces, including a laundry and kitchen gardens.

The design creates a neighbourhood feel with varying privacy levels and shared spaces for social interaction.
