Barangaroo South

 

 

The towers are set along Sydney’s Darling Harbor, minutes from the Sydney Opera House and form part of RSH+P’s Barangaroo South masterplan.  They form a western extension to Sydney’s CBD, meeting increased demand for large flexible floorplates, and integral to the ongoing viability and success of Sydney as an international city and key financial center.

 

Conceived as three sibling towers, the buildings splay open to the harbor breaking the relentless city grid allowing for spectacular views of the harbor.  A solar shading system comprised of 6 foot deep fins that wrap around the facade, gives each building it’s own personality.  The elevator banks are pulled out of the 20,000+ sq ft floorplates allowing for fully flexible interior layouts, and providing spectacular views to elevators riders and to occupants of the Vertical Villages that sit above.
