Arranged over six hectares, this recently completed development for Frasers Property Group is one of Sydney’s most prestigious urban residential addresses. The design emphasis was to create a green and sustainable urban environment that integrates both private and public spaces and amenities. It features the tallest “green walls” in the world.
The east tower (by Jean Nouvel) features a dramatic 42-meter cantilever with a ‘heliostat’ light reflection system supported by steel frames, to bounce light into the apartments and retail space beneath the cantilever. Robert Bird Group was responsible for all structural engineering within this project. The project has a Greenstar 5 building rating.
