BSE was engaged by Watermark Living, in collaboration with builder Parkview Constructions, to deliver electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, fire protection, vertical transportation, and sustainability engineering design services for Watermark Residences. Located at 130 Beaconsfield Road, Chatswood, within the Newgreens precinct at Chatswood Golf Club, Watermark Residences offers 106 two- and three-bedroom independent living units. Rather than a conventional planning approach that would have limited the site’s potential, the apartments were consolidated into a five-storey form that follows the natural escarpment, giving every apartment spectacular golf course views and a strong connection to the landscape.
The new clubhouse, positioned between the two apartment buildings, serves as a centrepiece of the village. Generous in scale, it includes a café, restaurant, gym, hydrotherapy pool, cinema, conference and function facilities. Residents also enjoy a private lounge, and multi-level parking conveniently located close to their apartments.
Sustainability is central to the design, with each apartment powered by solar energy and supported by battery storage. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure, water recycling initiatives, and the planting of more than 650 trees further reduce the development’s environmental footprint while enhancing long-term operational efficiency.
Our team delivered engineering services across all project stages, including concept design, design development, and tender documentation, followed by novation to the builder for design finalisation, peer review, and construction-phase services. In addition to core building services, our scope incorporated photovoltaic to support the project’s sustainability objectives.
BSE is proud to have contributed to the successful delivery of this high-performing, environmentally responsible seniors living community.
