Republic Stage One by GEOCON
Architecture - Multi Residential - Constructed | Commissioner: GEOCON | Creator: GEOCON
From the ground level plaza to the residential apartments above, the vision for Republic was to create a community. Republic stage one is an urbane assembly of 390 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments through which people can filter and explore, day and night. A welcoming and ever-changing place where the public realm is just as important as private spaces, and where each complements the other. Permeability and accessibility were a vital component of the project and there is a great sense of the beyond, something to pique your curiosity to draw you into and through the precinct.
Midnight by GEOCON
Architecture - Mixed Use - Constructed | Commissioner: GEOCON | Creator: GEOCON
Moody, seductive, and always surprising. Midnight presents Braddon’s newest and most contemporary fusion of sights, sounds, and textures to stimulate every sense, at any hour. Located just minutes from the heart of the Canberra CBD, and delivering an unprecedented mix of location, design, amenity, and value, Midnight presents unique possibilities. Midnight stands tall as a single address. Inspired exterior facades deliver two rich facets of modern Canberra seamlessly in one extraordinary design. Cast your gaze eastward to Mort Street and beyond and be immersed in the intoxicating creative energy of Braddon’s iconic Lonsdale Street, with a distinctly more creative facade sending the boldest of expressions to the street.
Conceived by the celebrated Fender Katsalidis Architects and Oculus Urban Design, Midnight is set to transform the face of our national capital. Standing tall over the Northbourne Avenue corridor, this inspired development draws on the creative energy of its surrounding neighbourhoods. Look eastward, and you’ll discover a distinctly more adventurous façade made to match views over vibrant Braddon. While the remainder of the building’s exterior echoes a more classic feel. In this way, Midnight captures two facets of modern Canberra in one innovative design. And paints a vision for a thriving future.
From the winning location to breath-taking design, ample amenity and outstanding value – Midnight presents a unique opportunity in the nation’s capital. Made up of 230 high-end (yet affordable) residential units, a 199-room hotel, 2,000sqm of ground and upper-level commercial space, and 200 public car parks.
Republic by GEOCON
Graphic Design - Identity and Branding - Lifestyle | Commissioner: GEOCON | Creator: GEOCON
Republic is a place to bid farewell to the past and be immersed in the aspiration-fuelled Canberra of tomorrow. Every corner offers a thriving modern community whose collective eyes are focussed firmly ahead, injecting a vibrant new dynamism into urban living for generations to come.
This is no place for the status quo. Republic is built upon an unashamedly ambitious desire to reshape the very fabric of residential Canberra by challenging conventions and expectations. The result is a rich new definition of contemporary living that celebrates community and lifestyle and overlays it with unrivaled value for money.
