Aquarius is a gateway building which consists of 18 residential apartments plus a gymnasium over four storeys, plus basement car parking.

The building plays a key role within Salacia’s master planned urban framework, connecting with the neighboring residents recreating facilities.

The design is a contemporary built form with simple lines and hard edges. The rectilinear composition is soften by a curve edge corner to the street front with strong vertical blades and pop-up roofs to emphasize its dominant architectural feature.

Subtle variations is roof height reduce the mass and bulk of the building. As a result, the scale and proportion of the development is well integrated with the surrounding buildings. The random modulation of the individually operated louvers animates the facade, transforming in into a visual screen display.

This four storey building is elevated above the street level providing privacy for residents. At ground floor, the development consists of gym amenities for the occupants and visitors. A separate access with extensive glazing reveals the gym activities allowing visual connections to the recreation.

The design of the residence maximizes flow through ventilation and integration with the landscape surroundings. The main entry lobby is a two storey volume extending through the building connecting the street to the pool and other recreational facilities at the rear.

The Aquarius building presents a well defined form in its setting using quality materials and finishes. The concept essence of the design is understated elegance. Overall, the aesthetic is simple and contemporary.

Apartments will generally range from $419,000 for a one bedroom plus study apartment to $859,000 for a large three bedroom apartment with long easterly views across the park to the Broadwater.
