Design Vision
The first step for Mirvac Design team in developing the design for Harold Park was to understand the surrounding neighbourhood of Glebe. “Harold Park is a unique iconic location and we wanted to continue the village atmosphere of Glebe, creating a place where people would aspire to live.”
Harold Park is located in Sydney’s Inner West. The surrounding streets and suburbs have 
a distinctive character generated by a rich mix of street patterns, building types and architectural styles.

Our planning and streetscape reinforcing the village atmosphere, terraces open to the street while providing a private outdoor sanctuary at the rear, flowing from generous living spaces. The studios and apartments have generous balconies and warm textured interior finishes.

Our design respect for the history of Harold Park and its place within an inner-city neighbourhood have been translated into new, modern terraces and apartments. These draw inspiration from the old which is rich and patterned, mixing brick and rendered facades with fencing and balustrade that is very sculptural. Coloured glass has also been incorporated into bay windows in the apartments. This light box effect together with the open plan design ensures that natural light and ventilation reach deep into the interiors.
