Designed in collaboration with Grimshaw and Panov Scott, Pitt 338 is a proposal for a hotel, apartments and commercial offices within a tower in Sydney’s midtown. This is set against a landscape of terraces, courtyards, lanes and stairs.
The X storey tower is formed in three 10 x 40m stepping blocks, configured to minimise the overshadowing impacts to the south, and to maintain the most slender proportions. The ten apartments per level are arranged to capture sun and views, with six per floor located on corners to enjoy a dual aspect.
Expand ContentThe separate buildings for hotel and office suites (4000sqm of retail), are held between vertical bands of honed precast concrete columns, varying in width, depth and frequency to suit their internal use and adjacent context. The materials and form animated by light and shadow, form an urban character in continuity with its neighbours and the growing CBD. The podium buildings, of varying heights, have roof terraces and gardens for the enjoyment of the residents and guests.
The façade with glazed mesh panels for environmental and visual amenity, forms light and transparent architecture. The layers of transparency, translucency and solidity creates a play of light, reflection and shading.
