TAYLOR SQUARE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT

(UNDER COUNCIL ASSESSMENT)

We have designed an extension to an iconic Federation-era building in Sydney’s Taylor Square. Inspired by the layering of volumes, the design creates a sympathetic addition to the existing building. The extended floors follow the rhythm of the existing building’s facade with each floor subtly separated in the articulation of the perimeter curves. The proposed building is predominantly a concrete and glazed brick building with overhanging plantings and recessed glazing carefully selected to refine the architectural language and soften the appearance of the harder materials. The facades have been carefully composed to express scale, rhythm and variation suitable to a development of its size.
