One of Zircon Living’s more ambitious projects, this three-storey development combines the retail heart of Mount Lawley with homes for Perth’s urbanites.
The Civic Development has had a long history within the company, beginning as 4 offices/storefronts and 8 two-storey townhouses in 2007 and expanding to 5 commercial spaces and 11 homes with a second development in the years following. This mixed-use design allows business owners to live and work on-site, encouraging entrepreneurship and reducing reliance on cars in everyday life. To adequately service, the development includes a two-storey parking lot and well-considered service areas to streamline life living and working within the building. At its core, the homes draw on the rich, red-brick history of Perth’s construction, using it as a feature contrasted with modern design motifs. Unique in its delivery and practical for its inhabitants, The Civic Development is the urban-dweller’s dream.
