Designed for Defence Housing Australia, Shout Ridge is the first residential project in Australia to receive the Green Building Council of Australia’s 6 Star certification under the Multi Unit Residential Design v1 rating tool – representing world leadership in environmentally sustainable design.

Located within the site of the former UTS Ku-ring-gai Campus at Eton Road, Lindfield, Shout Ridge is the second precinct designed by Architectus within the master plan.

Comprising two linear building elements at right angles to each other, the apartments are accessed from a central corridor, creating two distinct apartment characters; one street based, the other facing the open bushland landscape.

All 88 apartments have excellent natural cross ventilation and are designed to meet the Silver level of the Livable Housing Design Guidelines ensuring future flexibility and adaptability.
