The Orchards

Marketing - Branded Experience

The Orchards is a $1.4B Sekisui House masterplanned luxury development in Norwest, Sydney’s fastest growing region. It comprises 7 stages, across 8.8 hectares and will yield 1,300 apartments on completion. Toast’s 3-month strategic overview of project’s requirements laid the foundation and brand story for The Orchards development before Turner architects and other collaborators were appointed, and long before conceptual work started. In fact, Toast Creative’s strategic creative theme fed into every aspect of the development and was integrated into the architect’s masterplan, conceptual direction and framework. The Orchards is one of the most significant residential masterplanned communities to be introduced to Australia in over a decade. Positioned amid the urban renewal of Norwest and located on what was NSW’s first orangery established in the early 1800’s, The Orchards maps out a new benchmark for Sydney living and is on track to become one of Sydney’s most vibrant urban centres. The excitement around this 10-year development has been generated not only because of its scale surpassing all previous residential developments in the local area, but because of its rich agricultural history offering a treasure trove of stories that have been thoughtfully integrated into the residential experience. The development incorporates leading innovation, design and technology to ensure a sustainable and premium lifestyle experience. At the heart of The Orchards Master Plan is a development designed to purposefully create a sustainable, inspired and connected community. Connected with each other and connected with nature.

Hutch & Hutch

Graphic Design - Identity and Branding

Hutch & Hutch is a boutique residential warehouse conversion with quality, detail and elegance at its heart. The 26 apartment development is located in what was once the industrial northern edge of Surry Hills. It partially inhabits the shell of an existing factory building with apartments spiralling from a central core. As the building rises, the interplay of new and old gives way to a glass and metal volume, topped with intimate roof gardens overlooking Surry Hills towards the city. Surrounded by a variety of remnant warehouse buildings and small terraces and itself incorporating the character of an old industrial building marked by a century of use, materiality and form are prominent virtues of Hutch & Hutch. Various types and textures of brickwork are used to integrate the development with the existing streetscape while identifying new structures from old. As the website attests, Hutch & Hutch is ‘A venue of inspired thought set in the creative epicentre of Surry Hills.’ It has a ‘... striking architectural presence of reserved elegance and contemporary prowess…’ and ‘is a celebration of refined luxury & classical heritage.’

Sitting at 62%, this equates to around 5.7 million of Australia’s 9.2 million households being home to a pet. Dogs remain the most popular with almost two in five households (3.6 million) owning a dog. There was an estimated dog population of 4.8 million in 2016 or 20 dogs for every 100 people. The dog population rose slightly from 2013 to 2016 by approximately 600,000. Cats were the next most common type of pet with nearly three in 10 households owning a cat (2.7 million).
