1 Bligh Street, Office tower in Sydney, Australia
The elliptical glass structure rises 139 meters into the Sydney skyline with a double-skin facade and a central atrium spanning its entire height.
Architectus completed this commercial building in 2011, marking a new direction for Australian sustainable architecture with its six-star green certification.
The entrance features a geometric sculpture by James Angus that mirrors the building's architectural elements through interconnected ellipsoidal surfaces.
The 30-floor building contains two cafes, a kindergarten, office spaces, and a basement parking facility accommodating 96 vehicles.
The structure incorporates a sewage treatment facility that processes more wastewater than it generates, supporting water conservation efforts in Australia.
