The striking, curved façade offers breathing room to St Stephen’s Church next door, a heritage building typical of this pocket of Sydney. Through a unique cantilever design, the tower’s north face extends out eight metres above the 1930s-era stone church.
The building also gives back to the ‘neighbourhood’– by carving out generous public space for indoor and outdoor dining, retail and events. The space forms a “civic room” that’s visually connected to the church façade across five levels, and allows people on the upper levels to view and engage with events below.
Sixty Martin Place is in tune with the larger landscape too. When you first glimpse the top of the tower from Sydney Harbour, its green terraces blend with the Domain and Royal Botanic Gardens, making it a natural – yet still distinctive – addition to the skyline.
