Gold Fields House, Commercial building in Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia

Gold Fields House was a 27-storey office tower at the corner of Alfred and Pitt streets in Sydney's central business district, completed in 1966 and demolished in 2017/2018. Its steel frame carried cellular steel floors topped with concrete, precast concrete panels spanned between the structural columns, and glass mosaic tiles faced the external columns. Marble lined the foyer columns and floor.

The building was completed in 1966 by architects Peddle, Thorp and Walker, marking an important phase of Sydney's modern development. Its construction took two years and symbolized the city's economic growth during the post-war period.

Artist Unk White made a series of drawings by visiting the construction site regularly, capturing how the building took shape step by step. These sketches serve as a visual diary of the construction process and show an artist's view of urban change.

The building no longer exists: it was demolished in 2017/2018, so there is nothing to visit at the corner of Alfred and Pitt streets. The site was sold in July 2022 to Lendlease and Mitsubishi Estate, which plan two towers there, including Australia's first Waldorf Astoria hotel. Check the hoardings for the current state of work.

The building used an innovative construction system with cellular steel floors that was new to Australian building methods at the time. This structural approach allowed for faster and more efficient completion of the project.
