Exploring light, reflection & repetition

 

A graphic landmark at the base of a residential building designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects, Sky Over Water creates a unique connection from the street through to the building. Lakeside Apartments is located on Queens Road, Wurundjeri country, overlooking Albert Park Lake and Port Phillip Bay.

Inspired by the endless views from Lakeside Apartments, Sky Over Water explores light, reflection, and repetition. Its striking blue posts and contrasting tones of light creates an optical illusion—a dense, forest-like impact—on passers by, allowing glimpses of reflective animation when walking past or around the work.
