On 8th December 2016, the International Towers Sydney were celebrated as having been completed. Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), the milestone marks the conclusion of the first significant part of their masterplan for Barangaroo South, a major urban renewal project.

[[File:Rshpsydney2.jpg]]

Originally conceived in 2008, the three towers are designed to be harmonious with differentiating details providing individual characteristics. Opening out over the Sydney’s western harbour, the towers are positioned on a radial geometry to maximise views and exposure to sunlight.

Developed by Lend Lease, the project is Sydney’s largest urban renewal since the 2000 Olympics. The central business district (CBD) is united with the waterfront, with a new financial services hub and a new carbon-neutral district in the downtown area.

[[File:Rshpsydney3.jpg]]

RSHP claim that the design of the towers has ‘turned convention on its head’ and created ‘a workplace for the future’. The three towers offer approximately 300,000 sq. m of premium office space for around 23,000 workers who will be able to personalise and arrange the office space according to their needs using the flexible 2,500 sq. m floorplates. These floorplates are also shaped to correlate with the optimised solar shading of the facades.

[[File:Rshpsydney5.jpg]]

Throughout the buildings, the design incorporates large vertical spaces with high ceilings, day-lit lift lobbies and 100% fresh air. The transparent lobbies are designed to merge into Barangaroo South’s tight network of streets and lanes, helping to give the towers a sense of human scale and impact at ground level.

The towers have received the prestigious 6-star Green Star rating, thanks to a range of environmental features including facades that combine horizontal and vertical filigree solar shading, harbour water heat rejection, rainwater capture and recycling, solar panels, blackwater treatment, and a basement that prioritises bicycles over cars.

Speaking at the launch of the towers, RSHP’s senior partner Richard Rogers said:

“Sydney is one of the most magnificent port cities in the world, but historically the city has never reached the waterfront. One of the main aims of this project was to extend the CBD down to the waterfront, creating a new district of work and leisure, with 50% open space.

“Since the towers have been built, the area has been teeming with people, life and vitality, showing that this was absolutely the right response to the area. Working on a project of this scale has been an incredible opportunity for the practice to undertake a high quality piece of placemaking.”

[[File:Rshpsydney6.jpg]]

Project Director Avtar Lotay said:

“The radial arrangement of the towers break the orthodox Cartesian grid, the radial arrangement exploits views of the city and water, maximising solar access. The resulting street pattern and its proportions provide a human scale public domain enriched by an intelligent mix of activity, which is strongly connected to the CBD.”

Project Architect Paul Thompson said:

“The requirement for each of the towers to have an individual, low energy façade which could be read as a cohesive whole gave us the opportunity to develop and formulate three external façade systems which responded to their unique location. The façades used detailed, filigree solar shading to create a cohesive whole across the precinct and provide legibility from city to human scale.

“The opportunity to benchmark, model, prototype, test, and deliver these innovative facades with a global collection of specialist consultants, façade engineers, fabricators, and manufacturers has been an extraordinary and highly rewarding experience.”
