Angel Place, Sydney : Martin Place Precinct Development

Commercial Tower + Recital Hall, Martin Place – design by PTW, Architects

Angel Place Development

Date built: 2001
Design: PTW Architects

Location: Angel Place, Sydney, Australia
Client: AMP Society; City of Sydney (Recital Hall only)
Cost: $190 m (Australian)

This development consists of a 35 level commercial tower and 4 level 1,250 seat recital hall, located in the Martin Place precinct. The tower form has been designed to conform to planning controls on setbacks, heights and urban relationships. It includes internal ventilated courtyards to maximise the penetration of daylight into the typical floors.

A recital hall and podium serve to unite the total development and integrate it with the historic laneway and Martin Place precinct. The respective lobbies of the recital hall and office building communicate visually through a glazed wall, while allowing both elements to operate separately.

The project demonstrates the ability to meet objectives within tight time frames. The inclusion of a cultural use allowed the City of Sydney to grant planning concessions, benefiting both the cultural life of Sydney and the commercial returns to AMP.
