An Example of Regional Architecture Excellence with Sustainable Architecture
Axle South Eveleigh
The team viewed the success of this project as being ‘not about one big move, but an accumulation of smaller-moves’. The architect ensured the introduction of this building benefitted the community – integrating a childcare centre, quality retail, creative spaces, landscaping, heritage interpretation, public art, and a skate park. Axle was designed to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Design and As-Built v1.1 rating together with a 5 Star + 40% NABERS Energy rating and 4 Star NABERS Water rating.

Daramu House
This project builds on the achievements of its sister building, International House Sydney, taking CLT technology further to explore modularity and flexibility for future use. Adaptable for future tenants, floor cassettes can be removed; providing the opportunity to be dismantled at end of life and modular timber elements reused. A PV array in the roof garden provides 25% of the building’s energy. Integrating systems for better performance, it uses its growing green roof to cool its PV panels, increasing efficiency.

Wildlife Retreat at Taronga
The first of its kind in Australia, this hotel is one of two nationwide to achieve a 5-star Green Star rating. The project vision is to enable connection to nature as a first step towards stewardship, blurring the boundaries between the habitats of the human and the zoo residents. The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga has provided a unique opportunity to influence attitudes and behaviours of guests towards sustainability and wildlife conservation. It incorporates CLT, rooftop PVs, stormwater collection and reuse.

Upside Down Akubra House
An example of regional architecture excellence, Upside Down Akubra House, utilises simple, robust elements that are brought together in a straight-forward, yet innovative way. Steel is an essential compositional component both internally and externally. The facades feature a combination of reflective and matte metal cladding, zinculume custom orb in the lower portion of the facade shimmers in the sun, illuminating the home in the landscape. The roof and steel structure evoke the simplicity of traditional farm structures but with a clean and contemporary refinement.
