Other Projects by HECTOR ABRAHAMS ARCHITECTS
SEWERAGE PUMPING STATION NO. 1
Pyrmont, Australia
Sydney’s first sewerage pumping station is restored and made viable for future generations.
The heritage-listed, fully operational building, dated 1900, located amidst the urban growth of Darling Harbour, was in poor condition.
The work for Sydney Water involved a commitment to a public architectural face, saving severely damaged fabric and providing valuable inner city amenities.
This major conservation project saw the replacement of the roof, new stonework, doors, windows and interior for a fire damaged and forlorn building key to Sydney’s sewerage system. Hector Abrahams Architects restored the exterior and interior using three strategies: sensitive, sustainable and strategic. Colours, materials, techniques and styles were based on original NSW Department of Public Works’ records. Repair was chosen over replacement, with a commitment to existing fabric and embodied energy. The external fabric was future proofed and the original switch room was transformed into an income-generating flexible space with elements of the original but updated with 21st century facilities.
The results are outstanding materials conservation, public client exercising best practice and future viability embedded into the building.
The work has re-established the building both in the community and within the organisation.
Sewerage Pumping Station No. 1 was awarded a Commendation for Heritage Architecture in 2017 NSW Architecture Awards and a Commendation in the 2017 NSW Heritage Awards.
