One30 Hyde Park sensitively weaves a 38-storey stepped residential tower into the existing fabric of Sydney’s eastern city edge. Located at the intersection of Liverpool and Elizabeth Streets, the tower marks the pivotal southwest corner of Hyde Park’s urban room. The context necessitated that the design transition between Hyde Park’s southern street-wall, typified by towers, and its lower western edge, created by a legislated solar-plane, as well as respect the neighbouring Mark Foy’s heritage building. Further complexities involved visually expressing the corner condition and navigating the complex shadow envelope on the site’s southwestern edge.
In response, the tower is expressed as a series of ‘floating’ volumes that are ‘stacked’ to reference the various heights of the urban context. This eschews the simplistic tower and podium paradigm, instead elegantly creating a corner expression that deftly negotiates the complex shadow boundary within the concept’s rectangular expression. Recessed floors separate the volumes, delineating the podium from the upper volumes and creating the allusion that the boxes are ‘floating’. The composition of ‘floating’ boxes is visually anchored by a vertical core on the south. The core, clearly legible in off-form concrete, frames views to the south from the interior lift lobby.
The tower’s upper volumes are defined by a lively composition of off-white horizontal and vertical metallic fins which provide solar shading to apartments, while simultaneously creating a residential scale and grain that conceals the more prosaic components such as operable windows, balconies & vents. Wintergardens provide noise and wind control on recessed floors, as well as adjacent to the neighbouring building, and near the street on the podium.
The podium, wrapped in a precast masonry fret of single, double and triple height pillars, respects the scale and texture of the Mark Foy’s building. The fret is a contemporary reinterpretation of the architectural language and materiality of this historic landmark. It also increases the podium’s solidity. White brick on the ground floor directly recalls the materiality of Mark Foy’s, while creating a richly tactile pedestrian experience.
The ground plane has been carefully designed to activate the surrounding streetscapes with retail tenancies fronting Hyde Park, the residential lobby on Elizabeth Street, and a ‘hole-in-the-wall’ café on the rear lane. The Museum Station entry has been reinterpreted as a circular glass lantern, marking the corner intersection and opening up the public domain. The public space is animated by ‘Penultimate’, a dynamic light installation by Brendan van Hek that pulses in a digital interpretation of the train station’s timetable.
Interior detailing reinterprets the pattern and texture of the exterior fret in bespoke joinery, tiling and details. Interiors incorporate natural materials including marble, timber, leather and smoked glass which work together to provide a timeless and calm elegance. Floorplate planning maximises the harbour views to the north and the west across the city, maximising solar access and natural ventilation while capitalising on One30 Hyde Park’s location and Sydney’s natural and urban beauty.
