Alexander, Barangaroo South

The building had an active lofty 6m high ground floor with four distinctive apartment lobbies facing Globe Street amongst retail and food outlets which are orientated to the active promenade waterfront and created private living in a public place.

All apartments were designed to optimise the attractive views to Darling Harbour with living rooms opening to generous balconies. The two storey rooftop apartments had private roof gardens while a communal roof provided amenity to all apartments.

The façade of the building consisted of a permeable operable shutter system, articulated by planting elements which created the counterpoint to the facade. With two-thirds of the apartments cross ventilated and excellent solar access the apartments are an exemplar of sustainable design and have an important role which created architectural richness and diversity at Barangaroo.
