One Sydney Park

One Sydney Park replaces two large warehouses and perimeter asphalt carparks with a mixed-use development in a park like setting. The site itself is conceptualised as an extension of the neighbouring landscape of Sydney Park, which borders the three primary edges of the site. Our vision for One Sydney Park is the creation of a place that resonates and extends the ecology of the adjoining parkland. A blurring of the boundary between built form and the park landscape is achieved by dissolving the built edges of the apartment buildings fronting the park. Where adjacent to the parklands, or visible above the existing trees, the building form takes on a deliberately de-materialised quality. The mass of the building is intentionally blurred, emulating the character of the surrounding tree canopies. The project is a design collaboration between Silvester Fuller, MHNDU and Sue Barnsley Design.
