Barangaroo House | Collins and Turner
Designed by Collins and Turner, Positioned at the southwest extent of the Barangaroo South precinct, Barangaroo House is the outcome of design excellence competition organized by Lendlease and the Barangaroo Delivery Authority.
The overarching design strategy was borne of two crucial responses to site and brief: the urban response of a building ?in-the-round?, and the holistic integration of planting; both edible and ornamental.
The curved plan form creates a free-flowing space around the building, encouraging and welcoming movement, while effectively stretching the waterside terraces around the northern and southern faces of the building.A steam-bent charred timber façade gently curves in 3 dimensions, concealing a continuous ring of edible plants and generating a strong visual identity for the building, while the perimeter balconies cantilever the dining spaces outward, resulting in a unique outdoor atmosphere on each level.
From early design investigations, we sought to propose a building which spoke of the nature of the program, as well as the uniqueness of the site, while resetting the limits of how a hospitality venue can act.
The ambition of the project is the creation of a welcoming, timeless, convivial structure, that over time becomes a much-loved part of the city.
Due to its ambitious brief, and bold formal outcome, Barangaroo House drove innovation and testing at every scale – from the urban response to detail resolution and material selection...
