Designed in collaboration with Grimshaw and Panov Scott, Pitt comprises a hotel, apartments and commercial offices. Located within a tower in Sydney’s midtown, Pitt is set against a landscape of courtyards, terraces and laneways.
The 66-storey tower is formed in three 10x40m stepping blocks, configured to minimise the overshadowing impacts to the south and maintain slender proportions. The ten apartments per level are arranged to capture sun and views, with six of these on each floor located on corners to enjoy a dual aspect.
Expand ContentThe façade of the tower, with glazed mesh panels for environmental and visual amenity, forms a light and delicate architecture. The mesh, moreover, activates layers of transparency, translucency and solidity, which in turn, creates a play of light, reflection and shading.
The separate buildings for hotel and office suites are held between vertical bands of honed precast concrete columns. Varying in width, depth and frequency to suit their internal use and adjacent context, the materials and form of the columns are animated by light and shadow. In doing so, they form an urban character in continuity with their neighbours and the evolving Sydney CBD.
The podium buildings, of varying heights, have private roof gardens for the enjoyment of residents and guests.
