AWA Tower, Art Deco office building in Sydney Central Business District, Australia
The AWA Tower rises 111 meters with 14 floors, featuring polished trachyte facing at ground level and a prominent transmission tower on its summit.
Built between 1937 and 1939, the AWA Tower remained the tallest structure in Sydney, except for the Harbour Bridge, until the 1960s.
The building displays Art Deco elements including a relief sculpture of Pegasus and entrance foyer light fittings shaped like radio valves.
Located near Wynyard Park and railway station at 45-47 York Street, the building contains office spaces across twelve floors plus ground level.
The transmission tower design follows the pattern of Berlin's Funkturm Tower, incorporating architectural influences from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
