More than 3000 exotic and native plants will be used to create hanging gardens in a new residential apartment development in Adelaide’s West End.
Development Assessment Commission (DAC) Approval follows the project receiving pre-lodgement approval from both Renewal SA and the South Australian State Government Architect.
The $105-million residential development will transform a corner site overlooking Whitmore Sqaure, into a residential apartment building with the podium level balconies featuring lush, hanging gardens.
Bohem’s Wright Street entrance will have a twenty-two metre vertical garden façade.

Starfish Developments will provide tips to residents on how to create and maintain their own balcony garden.
Designed by leading architects Woods Bagot, led by Principal Gavin Kain, the greening of Bohem’s exterior forms part of an overarching design concept that brings together a number of interesting and eye catching elements.
Damon Nagel, Starfish Developments Managing Director said Bohem provided an opportunity to create a unique and distinctive building that suited its location in the bohemian west end of the city.

“Adelaide’s West End is a fusion of cultures and styles and this is reflected in Bohem’s design which brings together various design elements, scaled heights and setbacks, and exterior finishes and materials,” said Mr Nagel.
“The design takes full advantage of its location with future residents to enjoy sweeping views from all directions with a choice of apartments to be offered facing the city, Adelaide Hills and the metropolitan coastline to the west.
“The project’s proximity to the Central Markets, weekend pop up markets, Gouger Street restaurants, hip laneway bars and the green city squares will be key attractions for residents at Bohem.”
