First look exclusive: HSN submit plans for $23 million Woollahra apartment development

Rafi Assouline's HSN Property Group is set to develop a striking new apartment development in Woollahra.

HSN, who has its own building arm, is seeking to develop a seven-level building at 370 Edgecliff Road, a site that had previously been earmarked for a new development by TOGA.

The new $23 million development, near the Wolper Jewish Hospital and Matt Moran's The Chiswick, will comprise just 19 two and three-bedroom apartments, four of which will be reserved as affordable housing.

Currently on the site is a three-level, 16-apartment building.

PBD Architects has drawn up the plans for the building that "aims to blend with the existing streetscape of Edgecliff Road, incorporating heritage-style elements with a contemporary approach characterised by a symmetrical design, grounded columns, natural stone and zinc for the façade to create a timeless aesthetic."

Designed to meet the needs of medium-sized families and downsizers from the local area, the north-facing apartments range from 105 sqm to 191 sqm.

The landscape design, by Danger Barin Smith, reflects the ecological character of Woollahra, using a mix of species to provide privacy and seasonal shading. 

A concierge lobby will enhance residents' sense of community and security.

HSN Property Group will also employ sustainable initiatives, including using energy-efficient appliances, and low-maintenance materials, and providing on-site facilities for recycling and rainwater reuse.
