Victoria
A skeletal building structure carefully disguised as an organic sculpture, No.6 Sydney Street is a collection of 15 residences within an asymmetrical form inspired by the sinuous curves of nature.
As if carved from a singular raw material, the curving floorplates rest on an irregular grid of feature fluted columns. The interplay of flowing forms gives the building a sense of visual movement.
Each of the unique residences features a refined natural material palette and highly crafted joinery in timber and marble.
The building’s sinous form breaks down the walled streetscape created by its rectilinear neighbours. Experimenting with ideas of solid and void, the result is a unique outcome that sits in contrast to its surrounding residential context.
