Unwind overlooking the water at ANEW Rockdale

ANEW Rockdale, Knightsbridge’s $62+ million mixed-use development in Sydney’s south is set to revitalise and transform the vibrant urban village on the rise. In tandem with the government’s regeneration of the Rockdale town centre, which includes a revitalised civic square, greater connectivity, extensive street scaping and shared spaces, ANEW reinjects a village like atmosphere into Sydney’s urban spaces.

Architects Abworks have created a dramatic contemporary building right in the heart of Rockdale, opposite the new Rockdale City Library. Raising the bar in design innovation for the area, ANEW’s striking façade features a detailed, articulated base characterised by high-end features such as terracotta cladding, aluminium screening, louvres for privacy, deep balconies and large expanses of glass at its eastern street-front orientation.

Two interconnecting, oversized lobbies, each with its own lift, give residents a sense of place and intimacy. Ground-floor retail spaces activate the building and create bustle and life. Potential uses include designer stores, restaurants or other amenities, while a third retail space off the public walkway to the northern side lends itself to a charming laneway café.

Residences comprise a selection of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, some with studios or media spaces. Designed for optimum light and privacy, many of the easterly-orientated apartments on the upper floors enjoy magical views over the peaceful waters of Botany Bay.

ANEW is crowned by an expansive communal rooftop garden, providing a glorious vantage point and a wonderful environment for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. It encompasses a sheltered barbeque area and integrated seating on one side, with a sundeck and children’s play area on the other. Capturing sweeping views back towards the city skyline and the surrounding district, it’s the perfect place to unwind.
