Foamcrest Apartments by Richard Cole Architecture

Foamcrest Apartments is a project designed by Richard Cole Architecture. On a difficult triangular site in the coastal suburb of Newport on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Foamcrest Apartments is a form generated from the unique site.

The building’s staircase is positioned in the center, surrounded by the apartment on all sides.
