The brief
What the client needed
The City of Sydney wanted a library and a town square for Green Square, with most of the library set below the plaza so the public space stays open.
What we did
Scope and delivery
- An 8,100 m² public plaza over a mostly underground 2,500 m² library
- A glazed entry pavilion and cafe, and a glass tower of community and reading rooms
- A sunken garden rotunda and open-air amphitheatre
- 40 circular skylights, and connection to the Green Square Water recycled stormwater utility
The outcome
Why it matters
A cultural building that is also the neighbourhood's square, recognised internationally for it.
