Designed by Woods Bagot, AURA by Aqualand has won the “Best Residential High Rise Development – Australia” at the 2025 Asia Pacific International Property Awards
The International Property Awards gather entries from residential and commercial property professionals world-wide. They celebrate the highest levels of achievement by companies operating across all sectors of the property and real estate industry. An International Property Award is a world-renowned mark of excellence.
Woods Bagot Principal and Project Lead Jason Fraser says, “We’re honoured to have helped bring AURA by Aqualand to life. This recognition captures the spirit behind our creative concept, which was to create a striking addition to Sydney’s skyline that people are proud to call home.”
Echoing its water-side context, the building’s form is derived from the soft lines of plants and nature characterised by the surrounding deep tree-lined landscape and the curvilinear shoreline of Sydney. Curved and tapering, the buildings’ sculptural and striated form is reminiscent of foreshore sandstone and plays with light in response to the ever-changing nature of the harbour itself.
AURA by Aqualand seeks to create a community within itself while also reconnecting with the surrounding neighbourhood. At street level, a free flowing ground plane opens up the site, blurring the boundary between the neighbouring hotel and enticing the community to enjoy new retail, restaurants and landscape areas.
