BROOKFIELD PLACE SYDNEY

A NEW FRONT DOOR – AND NEW CONNECTIONS – FOR SYDNEY ’ S CBD
Brookfield Place Sydney , designed for Brookfield Properties by Make Architects with Architectus as Executive Architect , is a mixed-use scheme which includes the revitalisation of the pedestrian Transit Hall on George Street for Wynyard Station . The project demonstrates the true benefits and power of urban densification . Alongside 75,000m2 of premium office and retail space , it comprises upgraded multimodal transport links , new and renewed public connections that prioritise the pedestrian , and two restored and fully-integrated heritage buildings .
The complex project has united four separate sites including the former Menzies Hotel , Thakral House , and the retained Shell House and Beneficial House , assembling them into one reinvigorated block that rises out of the reconfigured transit hall of Wynyard Station . Our contemporary civic design reimagines the ground plane , making public space the focus , with a strong understanding of how people move around the city .
