Putney Hill

Located amongst Sydney’s established Northern suburbs, the Putney Hill development in Ryde is a lively community with everything a homeowner could ever need. The project was secured by COX winning a design competition held by Frasers.

Putney is a popular neighbourhood of over 800 apartments and houses, nestled amongst parklands, community gardens, children’s playgrounds, running tracks and native bushland.

Since building started in 2011 it has become a desired development, with stages being fast-tracked in 2015 due to the sell-out success of first release apartments.

All 800 dwellings, which range from apartments to houses, were constructed in six stages. Typologies include low-rise houses on terraced landscapes, semi-detached dwellings along the edge of the site and low-density dwellings that transition in scale.

The development dedicated over 60-per-cent of the site to open space – set among flowering canopies of mature evergreen trees, including figs and fragrant fruit trees.

Key public spaces include a rooftop terrace and community garden, landscaped courtyard, law and BBQ areas, multi-purpose communal room complete with a kitchen and outdoor fitness equipment.

Photography

Martin Mischkulnig

A pervading theme in Martin’s work is that of situating people in their environments reaffirming their place in the world.

This comes from a deep belief that people are shaped by their surroundings.

Of late, Martin’s passion for architectural photography has brought him numerous prestigious commissions.
