The theme was established as ‘Blue’ to reflect the harbour setting. The design team developed these ideas into four options: Sublime Canvas, Bohemian Rhapsody, Deco Refresh and Bay Bespoke which incorporated aspects of the historic and cultural context. Three of these have been developed through a unique combination of materials and attention to detail which have delighted the client in providing rich sensual palettes.
Completed in 2021, the extensive transformation has unveiled 125 apartments with a range of options including, one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as sub penthouses and penthouses.
The main obstacle in transforming a commercial structure to a luxurious residential building was in reimagining the façade and preserving the original structure. Curved glass wintergardens and balconies were created to signal a new chapter in the building’s history, while unique slim, horizontal steel structures, balustrades and fritted glass screens added light and reduced the bulk of the original commercial façade. The transformation of the rigid, solid tower form introduced three distinctive elements. A solid base podium anchors the building and connects it to Milsons Point. The bulk tower uses a sculptural contrast between solids and voids to create a playful modulation of the façade, and the roof frames the architectural design of the building with floating rooftop cantilevered planes.
