距离墨尔本市中心7公里的高档郊区Armadale 拥有众多遗产、咖啡馆、高端零售商和画廊。Carr受命设计835高街，这是一个位于Armadale主要街道的多住宅开发项目。"Carr副总监Stephen McGarry说："从构思开始，建筑成果的一个重要部分就是深入研究当地附近的细微的社区特征。在设计过程和探索过程中，我们真的试图了解了建筑成果的社会地位和那些将居住在这些空间的人的空间观点。"

The upmarket suburb of Armadale, located seven kilometres from central Melbourne, boasts a pretty procession of heritage properties, cafes, high-end retailers and galleries. Engaged to design 835 High Street, a multi-residential development on Armadale’s main strip, Carr’s focus was resolute. “From conception, an essential part of the architectural outcome was intensely studying the fine-grain neighbourhood character in the local vicinity,” says Stephen McGarry, Carr Associate Director. “During the design process and exploration, we really tried to understand the social standing of the architectural outcome and the spatial perspective of those that would inhabit the spaces.”

建筑围护结构高出地面六层，由一个优雅的网格形成，以混凝土和玻璃的韵律相互作用为特色。它在实体和虚空之间起舞，同时接地气和通风。通过全高的窗户和可滑动或旋转的玻璃门，公寓里充满了动态的散射光，并在一天中不断变化。

Rising six levels above ground, the building envelope is defined by an elegant grid formation featuring a rhythmic interplay of concrete and glass. It dances between the solid and the void, simultaneously grounded and airy. With full-height windows and glazed doors that slide or pivot, the apartments are filled with dynamic and diffused light that shifts during the day.

建筑和室内不断地对话，诉说着一种充满幸福感和高尚生活的语言。"内部材料和饰面的色调与外部相似，给人以秩序和平衡感，"Stephen说。"外部的质感通过公共空间带到了内部，当你进入每间公寓时，这种感觉通过柔和的灰色和低调的色调得到了加强，这有助于减弱外面的景色。“

The architecture and the interiors are in constant conversation, speaking a language imbued with well-being and elevated living. “The palette of interior materials and finishes is akin to the external, lending a sense of order and equilibrium,” Stephen offers. “The texture of the external is brought internally through common spaces and, as you enter each apartment, that sense is heightened through soft greys and muted tones which help extenuate the view beyond.”

在这26套住宅中，厨房和浴室中温暖的橡木地板和郁郁葱葱的天然石材平衡了混凝土的简约严谨，增加了自由的有机感，进一步将室内的自然世界作为基础，同时增加了不可否认的奢华。在整个宽敞的单元中，高度解析的细木工制品提供了一个增强的存储水平，为日常生活带来秩序和平静。

Within the 26 residences, the warmth of oak flooring and lush swathes of natural stone in the kitchens and bathrooms balances the minimalist rigour of concrete, adding a freeform sense of the organic, further grounding the interiors in the natural world while adding undeniable luxury. Throughout the generously-scaled units, highly resolved joinery provides an enhanced level of storage that brings order and calm to everyday life.

内部空间安排是由Carr的亲生物设计原则和 "为每个家庭提供外部景观和通风的愿望 "塑造的，Stephen分享道。"当你进入每间公寓并穿过每个房间时，无处不在的自然光提供了一种平静的宽阔感"。季节性的变化很容易被观察到，无障碍的地平线视野激发了一种令人振奋的前景和邻里之间的联系感。

The internal spatial arrangements are shaped by Carr’s biophilic design principles and a “desire to provide each home with access to external views and ventilation,” Stephen shares. “As you enter each apartment and journey through each room, the omnipresent natural light offers a sense of calming expansiveness.”Seasonal changes are easily observed, and the unimpeded views of the horizon inspire an uplifting sense of prospect and neighbourhood connectivity.

Carr将绿化纳入最早的概念草图，作为整体反应的核心元素。景观设计由Acre公司构思，软化了外部形式的直线表达，并为每个公寓提供了丰富的一面。建筑框架元素的系统性转变通过树木的定位得到了加强，同时穿插了攀缘植物的锚定结构和垂吊植物品种的放置，随着时间的推移，将增加高街835号的环境协调性。

Carr integrated greenery into the earliest concept sketches as a core element of the holistic response. Conceived by Acre, the landscaping softens the rectilinear expression of the exterior form and offers each apartment an enriched aspect. The systematic shifts of the architectural framing elements are enhanced through the positioning of trees, interspersed with anchoring structures for climbing plants and the placement of draping botanical varieties that, over time, will add to the contextual harmony of 835 High Street.

除了有生命的建筑，由国际知名的澳大利亚艺术家和雕塑家Anna-Wili Highfield委托设计的艺术装置进一步丰富了835高街的体验。空灵而精致的手工小鸟优雅地环绕着室内大厅空间，几乎达到了13米高的宽阔中庭的高度。高级工艺在整个835高街都很明显，呈现出与周围高端社区的优雅对接。

In addition to the living architecture, commissioned art installations by internationally renowned Australian artist and sculptor Anna-Wili Highfield further enriches the experience of 835 High Street. Ethereal and delicate, a swoop of handcrafted birds wraps elegantly around the interior lobby space, almost reaching the 13-metre height of the voluminous atrium.High craft is evident throughout 835 High Street, presenting as a graceful dovetail into the surrounding high-end neighbourhood.
