Sydney Avenue Offices | BVN

Sydney Avenue Offices is a workplace grounded in landscape, movement and shared experience. Designed for 3,000 people, the building explores how a large civic workplace can feel connected and human in scale. Its form is shaped through careful carving and modulation; its mass reduced to a series of volumes that step forward and back, catching light and shadow and creating a rhythm along the street. 

Projecting oriels extend from the façade as inhabitable pop-out rooms. These smaller spaces offer moments of retreat and frame long views to Canberra’s mountain ranges, reconnecting occupants to Country and embedding landscape into the working day.

At the heart of the building, a multi-level atrium serves as a vertical town square. A staircase winds upward through an atrium tower of meeting rooms, placing circulation and connection on display. The result is a workplace that balances scale with intimacy and civic presence with human experience.
