“...chifley makes an unparalleled contribution to the public realm, the idea of a dynamic and social workplace and the sustainability of the planet, without doubt the “next wave” of commercial buildings for our city…” 

This new commercial high-rise project was commissioned by Mirvac Projects after Lippmann Partnership (in consultation with Rogers, Stirk, Harbour and Partners) won a City of Sydney Design Excellence Competition. The building accommodates 23,000 sq metres of premium grade office space at a prime location within the Sydney CBD.

The concept achieves three main objectives:

1. an extension of the existing Chifley Square ground plane as public open space;
2. to provide an office “village” environment where varying floor plates allow 3 storey voids, offereing unique workspaces and flexibility within a commercial tower; and
3. the achievement of a 6-star AGBR rating with photovoltaic sunshades to the north, sliding greenscreens to the east/west facade and a reduced carbon footprint of 70% for a building of this size.
