The Gadigal of the Eora Nation
New South Wales
Parkline Place is a 39-storey commercial tower located immediately above the northern entrance of the new Gadigal Station in Sydney, strategically located at the junction of the city’s southern CBD and the Midtown retail precinct. The north station entrance plaza naturally fronts onto the tree lined Park Street which is one of the most prominent east-west cross-streets in Sydney.
The entrance is celebrated by a glass veil which allows daylight to flood the station plaza concourse throughout the day. Above this ‘veil’, the tower has been articulated into three vertical blocks with curved corner glazing. This urban scale massing creates a connection between the station and the tower, articulating the south elevation of the tower. The entrance lobby has a strong vertical emphasis and a triple height volume that leads up through a mezzanine floor of shops, restaurant and cafes to the commercial lobby space.
The design enables efficient connection through transport links being directly atop Gadigal metro station. Occupant (Tenant?) experience is enhanced by the on-floor experience that increases productivity and surrounding public spaces that support wellbeing.
