A Place of Convergence

A marker in an iconic skyline.

Milligan

Holding an important corner within a rapidly changing part of Sydney’s CBD this 50,000 sqm workplace tower proposal creates a legible gateway to the Hunter Street Precinct and a marker in an iconic skyline.

Project details

This proposal was submitted as part of a City of Sydney design competition for Milligan Group.  The 50 storey boutique commercial tower comes to ground at the corner of Hunter and Pitt streets resolving in a series of high-end retail frontages, a reactivated and revitalised heritage laneway, and a breathable, elevated tenants lounge. 

The project was designed in collaboration with TTW, WSP and Dark Lightning.

Connection to Country.

In deep time, thousands of years ago, Sydney Harbour is a valley, and Hunter Street is known as ‘heavy salt lands’ at Guru Badu (deep water). This is Gadigal Country — Gadi (grass) and Gal (people) in the Darug language.

Daranggara House.

Named after the cabbage palm (a symbol of indigenous sustainability), Daranggara House has a rich history of Indigenous custodianship converging with the project’s optimistic vision, to lead a sustainable future.

Regeneration of heritage and laneways.

Active civic amenity and an elevated tenants lounge.

An enriching workplace.

Performative, with sustainable impact.
