The project<\/strong> Making the most of the built environment is at the heart of what we do at UPco. When the expansive site of Stonington Mansion (which had become a Deakin University campus) came into our orbit via our client, Hamton, we seized the opportunity to usher this unique building into its next chapter.
Built in 1890, Stonington Mansion has a rich and varied history. Before it was an educational campus, it was used to house a Prime Minister, to host royalty, and to heal polio patients after the war. Following Hamton\u2019s acquisition of the property, a new vision for the building came into focus.
Hamton\u2019s overarching plan was to split the site into precincts. Each would have its own elegant and amenity-rich residences, and together, these micro-neighbourhoods would reinvigorate the site as a whole.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
