Key Australian Property Developments in New South Wales

Sydney Architecture We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Sydney Architecture. We aim to include NSW architectural projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed NSW buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions, design competitions and architects in Sydney.

Architecture in Sydney - Recent Buildings Edgecliff Medical Centre Design: Enter Architecture photo : Brett Boardman Edgecliff Medical Centre - 9 Oct 2012 At 150sqm, the project was modest in its footprint but sets a clear example of digitally fabricated interiors, and a prototype to see how these projects perform. In early conversations with the client, priorities were quickly realised: 3 radiating treatment rooms, a central reception area, lots of play spaces, soft furnishings like beanbags and excellent visibility - all of which contributed to the genesis for the ideas and space planning that followed. Boilerhouse Precinct, Parramatta Campus, University of Western Sydney Design: Tanner Architects Pty Ltd photo : Michael Nicholson Boilerhouse Precinct University of Western Sydney - 8 Oct 2012 The Parramatta campus of University of Western Sydney is a significant and historic place. Continuously used since 1813 as a public institution - first as a school for the new colony’s female orphans, then as a psychiatric hospital and since 1998 as a university. The sequential development has resulted in a fine grained built form with a series of non axial vistas and interstitial places bounded by a cohesive group of buildings. Common Ground Sydney, Camperdown, New South Wales Design: HASSELL photo from architects Common Ground Sydney - 5 Oct 2012 Common Ground Sydney adopts the ‘street to home’ approach of the Common Ground model originating in New York. The project addresses chronic homelessness by providing stable, high quality permanent housing. The building itself is indistinguishable as social housing or an institutional building but rather presents as a contemporary and comfortable living environment. Boustred House, Mosman, Sydney Middle Harbour Design: ian moore architects photo : Daniel Mayne House in Mosman - 5 Oct 2012 This project is located in Mosman on a north facing slope looking across Sydney's Middle Harbour to the Spit Bridge and Clontarf. The site falls away dramatically from a broad and densely landscaped verge on the street frontage, with a high sandstone cliff forming the southern boundary. The house is nestled into this cliff, shielding it from the street, where it appears as a single storey, focusing attention on the magnificent view to the north. Kerrie Murphy Building, Ultimo, Sydney, New South Wales Design: Allen Jack+Cottier - Australia photo : AJ+C Kerrie Murphy Building - 5 Oct 2012 This school building for the International Grammar School in Ultimo, Sydney, celebrates the joy and excitement of discovery and learning for the young students, who have absolutely fallen in love with it. Michael Heenan, principal of Allen Jack+Cottier Architects has delivered an organic design to create a memorable and stimulating school building. Darling Quarter Design: Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp photograph : John Marmaras Darling Quarter Sydney - 4 Oct 2012 The building was announced as the winner of the Office category at the World Architecture Festival. The project, which creates a new urban quarter on the edge of the city, was praised by the judges for its exciting form and massing and the creation of a publicly accessible landscape. The judges were impressed by Darling Quarter’s environmental credentials, scoring 6 stars (the highest possible) in Australia's Green Star Office - As Built v3 rating. WAF Awards 2012 - winner of office category Ravenswood School for Girls, Gordon BVN Architecture photograph : John Gollings Ravenswood School for Girls Sydney - 3 Jul 2012 BVN won the 2012 Sulman Architecture Award at the Australian Institute of Architects Awards, becoming the first architecture practice to win seven Sulman awards since the award was first given eighty years ago in 1932. This latest award was given for the Mabel Fidler Building. According to the jury, ‘In its elegant planning, the sheer delight of the library space and strong sculptural presence the Mabel Fidler building expresses the aspirations of a community and is a fine model for a school of the future.’ Holman House, Dover Heights, east Sydney Durbach Block Architects photograph © Brett Boardman Sydney Waterfront House - added 13 Jan 2012 Sited on the edge of a 70-metre high cliff, the plan of Holman House refers to Picasso’s painting The Bather. It contains a complex series of fluid living spaces set within a meandering perimeter that arcs, folds and stretches in response to sun, landscape and views.
