Affinity

A sophisticated manipulation of the apartment vernacular.

A sophisticated manipulation of the apartment vernacular.

Affinity at The Springs, Rivervale is a seven-storey residential tower set above several commercial tenancies. Consisting of 148 variously-sized apartments, this development was envisioned to contribute to the precinct’s fresh and lively character.

Recognising the site’s proximity to the river, city and major transport infrastructure, Hillam Architects was conscious of providing a range of entry-level housing.

Featuring a pool, cabana, residents’ lounge and cafe, the amenities of this development exude luxury and encourage an active lifestyle.

The building’s sculptured form capitalises on its corner location, and at the same time, remains considerate of the scale of the neighbouring developments. The exterior explores dramatic sharp angles and asymmetrical design. The juxtaposition of white render and the dark metal claddings reinforce the drama whilst timber accents bring warmth to the balcony spaces.
