The Rox is under construction and the development includes apartments in both new and heritage parts of the site, along with ground-floor commercial space. Its design pays particular consideration to its heritage context and the opportunity to ‘rebuild’ the inner city street corner. A generous public forecourt on the sunny side of the building will form of a new community within the larger Hobart area.
The project restores the heritage fabric of the original Scotch College building, adds density to the site with the new building whilst also providing contemporary architecture that maximizes solar gain, thermal performance all whilst reducing ongoing costs.
The Rox looks set to provide residents with quality living and communal spaces with excellent aspect and natural ventilation. The design is the outcome of effective collaboration between architect, builder and client.
