Opera Residences
Opera Residences, at the southeast corner of Circular Quay, is a 20-storey building containing 104 apartments, that creates an exceptional level of quality and amenity, not just for its residents, but also for visitors and the general public. Tzannes were the lead architect collaborating with Crone (executive architect), and MAKE, (interior architect).
In one of the most important and most visited sites in the city, close to the Sydney Opera House and Botanic Gardens, it was essential that we responded to ? and enhanced ? what was already there. At its base, Opera Residences includes a grand colonnade that completes the public walkway at East Circular Quay. With its three levels of retail and hospitality, it also invigorates a previously underutilised waterfront area; we further enhanced this through an integrated landscaping strategy at Circular Quay, comprising shaded public seating and trees. We incorporated a grand public stairway through the retail area, which provides a new link between Circular Quay and the Botanic Gardens, opening up the view between the two zones and offering an engaging experience for pedestrians.
