The shape of the 30-story building is derived from view corridors and the solar orientation. The transparent office building with an elliptical floor plan offers unobstructed views of the world- famous Harbor Bridge of Sydney. A public plaza complements the opposite Farrer Place to create one of downtown Sydney’s most attractive urban spaces. A large grand staircase and the first floor are public. Two new cafes and a Kindergarten in the building help animate the space.
