New development reveals lost heritage
The redevelopment of the Hyatt Regency Sydney has revitalised Sydney’s western fringe, connecting the CBD to Darling Harbour whilst restoring and revealing lost heritage
Architect: Cox Architecture
About the project: The development of the Hyatt Regency Sydney into Australia’s largest hotel continues a Cox Architecture tradition of doing more with less.
The key sustainable initiatives include:
- Development not taking not taking place on green or brownfield sites
- The new public space to Slip St, the heritage interpretation of our shared history and the mixed-use nature of the development ensures social sustainability
- Utilising and refurbishing existing structures reduce the embodied carbon of the project
- One of Australia’s first closed cavity façade installations that allows the western facade to embrace the views, whilst balancing the projects sustainability agenda with function room functionality (e.g. room blackout)
- A detailed reiterative process of pairing back sun shading on the tower façade ensured every piece of tower façade was passively effective
- Efficient folded plate steel roof design reduced embodied carbon.
