The Situation
Located on a ridge in Long Bay, this medium-density development makes full use of its unique setting—stepped terrain, a northwest-facing reserve, and city views to the east. The design features three- and four-level units that follow the site’s natural contours, using a refined palette of white, grey, and timber cladding.
Sunken entry terraces create a layered, pedestrian-friendly edge, while central open-air courtyards in each unit bring in natural light, promote ventilation, and connect interior spaces across levels. Each courtyard features a Japanese maple, reinforcing the project’s strong biophilic approach.
The Challenge
While the site's sloped terrain offered opportunities for stepped design, it also posed waterproofing and structural complexities, particularly where tanking needed to interface with exposed membranes. The development required a trusted waterproofing solution that could seamlessly integrate across these transitions, accommodate the site’s slope, and support long-term durability and performance.
The architects also needed a system they and the installation team were familiar with—something reliable, proven, and technically supported, especially given the complexity of the internal courtyards and layered outdoor spaces.
The Solution
The Nuralite 3PTM/3PT system was specified for its proven performance, ease of application, and dependable technical support—key factors valued by both architect and installer on previous projects. Its compatibility with the site’s gentle slope supported an efficient installation and robust, long-term waterproofing solution.
To ensure continuity between below-grade and exposed areas, the Nuraply 3PM system was used to deliver a seamless, integrated waterproofing transition.
