Comprehensive upgrade and remediation of 5 Hunter St, Sydney, enhancing the building's façade, awnings, and essential services while integrating contemporary design elements and sustainability initiatives.
Upgrade & Remediation Project
BTB Architecture Studio was engaged by the Strata Committee of 5 Hunter Street, Sydney, a 10-storey office and retail building, in response to issues with the building’s precast concrete façade and street awnings. BTB prepared concept design options that would not only stabilise and make safe the façade but provide a much-needed upgrade to and refreshment of the building’s public face. BTB concluded that the most appropriate and thorough remediation solution was to overclad the entire façade and replace the existing awnings. This gave the opportunity for innovative design responses exploring contemporary fabrication, patterns, colours, and sun control measures, all informed by the building’s prominent location and context, to increase its overall appeal and value. The concept design options consider the following:
- Essential services upgrade
- Façade renovation
- New ESD initiatives
- Awning upgrade
- Opportunities for public art installation
- Connection and dialogue with adjacent heritage items
