Sirius building, Brutalist apartment complex in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
The Sirius building features stacked concrete boxes with large windows offering views of Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House.
Completed in 1980, the building provided housing for displaced residents following controversial redevelopments in The Rocks during the 1960s and 1970s.
The structure housed 79 public housing units, representing a commitment to maintain social diversity in Sydney's central district.
The complex contains apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, arranged across multiple levels with communal spaces including a lounge and library.
In 2019, the government sold the building for 150 million Australian dollars, leading to its conversion into private residential and commercial spaces.
