Comprising a thirteen-storey development of 178 apartments, Connor makes the best of expansive views of Sydney and Chippendale Green. Taking inspiration from the local architecture, it is clad in a warmly reflective, rich copper colour and ‘lenticular fins’ that transform the building appearance as determined by orientation.
Expand ContentLocated on the south-west corner of the urban regeneration precinct, at the intersection of O’Connor and Abercrombie Streets, Connor is a gateway building that confidently holds this corner location. Establishing a connection between low rise Chippendale and the larger scale buildings of Broadway, the main entrance to the building is found on Central Park Avenue, fronting the park. Retail and residential common areas on the ground floor continue the vision for an active urban precinct.
Within this development, there is a great variety of apartment types, including two-storey apartments on the ground floor which capitalise on the street level address, compact one-bedroom apartments, dual key apartments on the corners of the site, and large two-storey sky-homes on the upper levels.
All apartments are provided with private open space in the form of a loggia, balcony or terraces. Just as the architecture is bold, strong and clear, the interiors deviate from conventional interior design solutions to deliver bold colour and texture in a concept defined by the idea of ‘urban juxtaposition’. This combines bold expression with rigorous planning to make liveable interiors that dramatically complement the architecture of the building.
Visually linking with the red brick warehouses of Chippendale, the brushed copper cladding blends with the adjacent heritage-listed Brewery Yard with elegance and gravitas.
