The former Commonwealth Bank “moneybox building” has been restored and redeveloped in a heritage-led urban renewal project. Contemporary commercial spaces have been added to the site, rejuvenating a large section of Martin Place and re-affirming its status as the commercial and civic heart of Sydney’s CBD.

Predominantly a sandstone façade, we added acid washed GRC features to deliver the large cantilever roof parapet, fins and feature bands in sympathy with the texture and colour of the sandstone cladding. An example of the versatility of GRC in achieving complex shapes with durable, fire proof and visually appealing solutions.
