Kokoda Apartments

The proposed buildings have been arranged on site to maximise the units’ northerly aspect; provide 100% cross ventilation; and engage with and enliven the neighbouring park.

Fundamental to the arrangement of the built forms is the creation of an internal courtyard protected from Goodwood St, which allows light and breezes to filter through adjacent apartments, while simultaneously reducing the width of the adjacent buildings. This internal courtyard provides a visual and accessible link to Kokoda Park, as well as a landscaped backdrop for residents looking out from the neighbouring buildings. The courtyard additionally provides sheltered break-out space for the corner retail unit, envisaged as a cafe, allowing the space to become active during the day, while transitioning into secured quiet space at night.

Office Profile

Fox Johnston is a young Sydney-based architecture & design practice that combines an intelligent, pragmatic response to each client’s brief with a thorough understanding of the opportunities created by site and context.

We work across a range of projects, from large private houses to adaptive re-use of heritage buildings to major multi-residential projects.   
Our work is driven by a passion for light, space, natural materials and finely crafted living spaces, coupled with an acute awareness of the sustainability challenges facing the built environment today.

The practice specialises in creating well-resolved, light-filled, tactile and thought-provoking buildings – both single houses and multi-residential projects – for people to live work & play in. Living in a Fox Johnston-designed building is the perfect antidote to the stresses of today’s complex & challenging world.
