Landscape Building of Prince Henry, Little Bay, Sydney by batessmart. The Flowers Wards at the Prince Henry site is stage 1 of 3 stages of redevelopment on the Southern Lots site at Little Bay. Prince Henry Hospital built the Flowers Wards following the outbreak of World War 1. Named after Fred Flowers, the State’s first Minister for Public Health, the Flowers Wards – six buildings constructed from 1914-1917 – marked the expansion of the Hospital

The pavilion style buildings have high ceilings, long wide verandahs and excellent orientation to views and winter sun, making them a precursor to modern coastal architecture. They are rectilinear, classically proportioned and have strong repetition, a great sense of order and strong indoor/outdoor connection. The four Flowers Wards will each be sympathetically adapted to four heritage residences of three bedrooms ranging between 160 and 175sqm.

The sub floor will be excavated to create parking, storerooms and cellars and will provide direct internal access to each apartment. The original Hill Theatre which was built in the 1930s will be adapted into two oversized high end villas. The adaptation from Hospital to apartment living is founded on respect and consideration for the original design and an understanding of how the buildings functioned originally.

Townhouses

Stage 2 consists of 46 2-storey townhouses with the majority of units having secure underground parking directly below the unit itself. All the townhouses will consist of 3-bedrooms with 14 units having a third level loft space to accommodate a possible fourth bed or study.

The units are all oriented to take full advantage of possible ocean views as well as address the surrounding urban street network and maximise aspect to the north. Each unit will contain the living areas at the ground floor level to allow for direct access to the private landscaped external courts to the rear. Material choices will respond to the corrosive marine environment, and colours and textures will harmonise with the coastal landscape.

Little Bay is an historically and culturally significant area. Art Deco heritage buildings of high conservation value are to be rejuvenated and reused to create grand residential apartments. Additional new apartment buildings will maximise views of the golf course, ocean, city and surrounding low-level bushland. Their careful positioning across the site ensures a complimentary dialogue is established between this new scale of building and the existing heritage buildings. Conservation and reuse of water, gas and solar heating, cross ventilation, and passive solar design represent aspects of Bates Smart’s holistic approach to sustaining and improving the existing natural environment.

The quality of the natural environment will be improved through our innovative responses to the issues of stormwater run-off and energy efficiency. Material choices will respond to the corrosive marine environment, and colours and textures will harmonise with the coastal landscape. The landscape design will enhance the residential amenity of the community while maintaining view corridors and ocean vistas and generous feelings of open space, maximising natural light and views.
