Lendlease propose six storey Barangaroo timber office block
Australia’s first commercial office tower made of timber is set for the Barangaroo development.
International House Sydney will be located at the gateway to Barangaroo on Sydney's Sussex Street.
It will be built by Lendlease.
It will be Lendleases’s third building constructed using these materials following Forte timber apartments in Melbourne and The Dock, a public library in Docklands.
The office tower over 7910 square metres has been designed by Tzannes Associates.
“The architecture of International House Sydney reflects a new form of beauty. Beyond shape and surface, it is ‘deep design’ renewing architecture’s role to serve the greater social purpose of lowering carbon emissions,” Alec Tzannes told The Urban Developer website.
