Global Identity through Competition Winning Architectural Projects

Sydney has a long history of building great architecture through design competitions.  Sydney will soon see four new competition winning apartment buildings built, under its Design Excellence Program. These projects are as follows: 55 story Goldfields House at Circular Quay, 15 story tower on Pitt Street, 22-story Stamford on Macquarie and the Harbour Mill at the Quay.

“All the projects had rival designs drawn up by architects under the City of Sydney's Design Excellence Program, which requires developers of buildings more than 1500 square meters or 55 meters high to host a competition before making a final selection.”
