Woolloomooloo Apartments
Country / Gadigal
A park side apartment building explores the expressive potential of low-carbon concrete while evoking Potts Point's stately residential character.
Designed as part of a new precinct in Woolloomooloo around a new park, Tribe collaborated with fjcstudio, Studio Bright and Bangawarra on this project. Our building is one of a suite subtending a new urban park. It recalls the much-loved Potts Point vernacular – our first high density area that is characterised by simple gridded, load-bearing façade buildings with jaunty bits at entry or public use. The precast concrete façade uses low-carbon concrete and its inherent colour qualities and viscosity to create texture and wabi sabi within the grid. Apartments are carefully calibrated for passive thermal performance, privacy for themselves and neighbours, and for outstanding harbour views. This project was won as part of a Design Excellence Competition in the City of Sydney in 2024.
