Sydney Commonwealth Parliament Offices (CPO) at 1 Bligh Street demonstrates a meticulous integration of aesthetic elements, functionality, and sustainability. The strategic use of glass build, including (6+6)mm Low Iron Curved Laminated Glass and 6mm Curved Mirror, indicates a deliberate emphasis on transparency, light, and spatial flexibility. The utilization of curved laminated glass and curved mirrors contributes to the creation of a visually striking and secure environment, aligning with modern architectural trends and enhancing the unique qualities of 1 Bligh Street.
The focus on flexibility and security within the office accommodations, in conjunction with the incorporation of natural daylight and views of the harbor, underlines a design philosophy that seeks to provide a productive and inspiring workspace for Australian government Ministerial and Parliamentary staff. The provision of conference and meeting spaces, media and press rooms, and associated facilities further emphasizes the multifunctional nature of the CPO, catering to a range of public and private uses.
Architectus’ commitment to achieving a 6 Star Green Star Office Interiors v1.1 rating aligns with contemporary sustainability standards, reflecting a conscientious approach to environmental impact. By leveraging their comprehensive understanding of 1 Bligh’s base building design, Architectus has ensured that the fit-out not only meets the rigorous Green Star criteria but also upholds the project’s overarching commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
The incorporation of elements inspired by Sydney’s unique character, such as coastal forms and local materials, adds a distinct regional flavor to the design, fostering a sense of place and cultural resonance. This emphasis on the local context establishes a strong connection between the CPO and its surrounding environment, contributing to a cohesive and harmonious integration within the urban fabric of Sydney.
LOCATION:
Zaha Hadid Architects has unveiled plans for a new masterplan which will be situated along the city of Novorossiysk’s waterfront in Russia, the new masterplan will unite the city’s recreational, cultural, corporate and ecological functions within a coherent composition that reinstates the city
Danish architect Bjarke Ingels’ firm BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group has unveiled new images of a pair of twisting towers that are currently rising in New York’s High Line. Located at 76 11th Avenue between 17th Street and 18th Street, the new towers are comprised of a twisted form sitting on a massive but semi-transparent base, which are gently designed not to block each other’s views along the High Line.
Named The XI, the towers – also literally known as The Eleventh, are currently under construction on site and their exoskeleton already took shape on project site. The XI is planned to complete in 2019.
Developed by HFZ Capital Group, the tower on the West side will have 36 floors and reach approximately 400 feet (121,9 meters), will include 149 condos and its interiors will designed by the New York firm Gabellini Sheppard, while the East tower will reach 26 floors and about 300 feet (91 meters). The East tower will also contain a Six Senses hotel on the lower floors and will contain 87 condos from the 11th floor up, which will be designed by the Paris firm Gilles & Boissier.
Conceived as “a micro-neighbourhood”, the building’s central courtyard will be filled with plantings, designed by the Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea. On the street level of the building, several pavilions, restaurants and retail stores, linked to a park on the eastern edge of the site designed by Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro, are developed to attract visitors throughout this popular walkway.
The pair of twisting asymmetrical bronze and travertine towers is connected by a skybridge, allowing new visitors to pass underneath. The building will be clad by travertine materials and as the towers rotate around its own base, the appearance of the material will change and be shadowed throughout floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Central Equity
Virtually any type of glazing system can be used with structural glass facades. Check out the options
FRAMED
Framed systems support the glass continuously along two or four sides. There are many variations of framed systems, most of which fall into two general categories. Conventional unitized curtainwall systems are seldom used with structural glass facades.
STICK
Stick-built glass facades are a method of curtain wall construction where much of the fabrication and assembly takes place in the field. Mullions of extruded aluminum may be prefabricated, but are delivered as unassembled
The double-skin facade is a system of building consisting of two skins, or facades, placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity. The ventilation of the cavity can be natural, fan supported or mechanical. Apart from the type of the ventilation inside the cavity, the origin and destination of the air can differ depending mostly on climatic conditions, the use, the location, the occupational hours of the building and the HVAC strategy.
The glass skins can be single or double glazing units with a distance from 20 cm up to 2 meters. Often, for protection and heat extraction reasons during the cooling period, solar shading devices are placed inside the cavity.
