Team

Based in Braddon, the multi award-winning team at JUDD Studio has designed some of the most popular buildings in Braddon and across Canberra.

Led by Chief Architect Nathan Judd, The Grounds showcases the team’s exceptional attention to detail, and unique vision to create an urban sanctuary offering all the benefits of both suburban and inner city living.

Their design approach was to create generous apartments that felt wide, rather than long and narrow, with plenty of natural light. The building plays with a sense of curving to relate to its corner location, with the angling in the apartments expressed in a subtle way to direct the eye towards views and outdoor spaces.

To make the location and natural setting the star of the design, the high level views, adjacent green spaces and vibrancy of the city inspired the layout and features of each apartment type.

Marchese Partners is an international design consultancy founded in Australia. Over the past 23 years, they have won a suite of industry awards and delivered countless high profile architectural masterpieces.

Every terrace home in The Grounds has been meticulously planned to maximise views and natural light, with windows on both sides of the terraces, and a scenic outlook onto Northbourne Oval or the communal courtyard.

Each floorplan has been specifically designed to cater to various life stages, with multiple options for internal floor space, number of bedrooms, garage size, and even the addition of an internal lift that can be purchased or shared to offer additional storage. Ease of access has also been a focal point, with courtyards, garages and first floors designed to offer a comfortable and effortless experience for all terrace residents.

The terrace layout pays special attention to separating communal and private spaces, with the first floor for living and dining, and the second and third floors for bedrooms and bathrooms.

SPACELAB comprises a team of highly experienced and talented urban designers, statutory planners and landscape architects. On board with The Grounds project from the very beginning, they set out to create an innovative and distinctive blueprint that would capture the history and character of Northbourne Oval.

The team conducted extensive community consultation, were involved in commissioning two specialist architects, organised development approval, and crafted a robust and timeless design offering superb functionality.

SPACELAB have carefully planned every inclusion to provide future residents with their very own urban village. Landscaped entries and laneways connect The Grounds with its Braddon home, while internal spaces flow seamlessly between advantageously-placed built elements, and unique pockets of landscape.

Purdon Planning is a Canberra-based town planning consultancy with 30 years’ experience, specialising in planning advice, agency liaison and development approvals for a wide range of commercial and government clients, and on a variety of projects.

For The Grounds, Purdon Planning provided statutory planning advice and agency negotiation to successfully obtain approval for the proposed development. Purdon Planning brought an understanding of all relevant planning rules and regulations to this task as well as an understanding of key local issues to gain development application approval. Liaising with all parties on the master plan and architectural design, Purdon Planning has used their expertise to ensure that the best development outcome has been achieved for the surrounding area and future residents at The Grounds.

The Dept. of Design is a passionate team of award-winning interior designers, who are experts in creating stunning, liveable spaces.

The team worked with The Grounds’ architects to review planning, ensuring rooms were functional and inviting, while taking every opportunity to maximise storage space. They’ve also endeavoured to incorporate as many beautiful and practical design elements into the kitchens as possible, such as clever storage, induction cooktops, fully-integrated dishwashers and rubbish bins, and breakfast bars.

Their approach to colour was simple, clean and neutral, allowing home owners to express their individuality, or let the vivid scenic or cityscape views do the talking. Timber flooring, all white or all black kitchens, and marble-look wall tiles add a classic elegance that will truly stand the test of time.
