Oxford Corner by Tony Owen Partners | Tony Owen Architects

Oxford Corner is a mixed use development consisting of 8 units above a ground floor cafe. It is located in Oxford Street in Sydney’s historic Paddington area. Paddington is a suburb famous for its traditional terrace houses and rich streetscape. Oxford Street is the cultural high-street of Paddington.

The site is very prominent as it sits on a plaza next to Paddington Uniting Church; the site of famous weekly Paddington Markets and housed a café which is a local institution. In recent times, the traditional retail centre of Oxford Street has been in decline in the face of competition from new shopping malls, with many vacant shops. We conceived a destination; an iconic architectural statement which will draw people back to the area and reenergise the community and economy.
