Kendall Street Apartments | Gosford, Central Coast, NSW
8-Storey High-Density Landmark Featuring Dual-Key Living, Site Amalgamation, and Dual-Aspect Vistas
Situated on Kendall Street in the booming Gosford CBD precinct, this 8-storey residential flat building represents a major achievement in urban consolidation and high-density spatial strategy. Commissioned to maximize the height and Floor Space Ratio (FSR) planning incentives offered under Central Coast Council (formerly Gosford City Council) frameworks, our team executed the strategic amalgamation of four independent residential lots to create a high-yield, 72-unit luxury apartment development.
The architectural language relies on a dynamic modular concept: stacking and shifting distinct 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartment typologies to create an articulated, sculptural street facade rather than a monolithic block. To maximize investor appeal and family versatility, the 3-bedroom concept integrates flexible dual-key configurations—allowing a single apartment footprint to function seamlessly as two independent dwellings or one expansive family residence. Structurally anchored by a post-tensioned concrete post-and-slab superstructure with lightweight external Hebel wall systems, the design addresses strict bushfire-prone land regulations while maintaining sprawling glass apertures. The upper levels culminate in two bespoke penthouse residences engineered with expansive dual-aspect orientation—capturing sweeping southern ocean vistas over Brisbane Water alongside western outlooks into native ridge bushland.
