First curved corners formed & up in our Dulwich Hill studio apartments. Will make the freestanding escape stair into an expressed exclamation mark in the rear triangular courtyard. Fire-rated window on every floor too. Important to design stairs to encourage people to use them, not just rely too much on lift. #stair #escapestair #stairshaft #curvedcorner #concrete #offformconcrete #constructionsite #triangularcourtyard #structure #construction #architectureofhousing #sydneyapartments #sydneyapartmentbuilding #studioapartments #architecture #dulwichhill @innerwestcouncil @hillthalisaup team @aaronj_murray @adriankmchan #jonathonkibble
Sydney Corner Buildings 2; Old Bank Building corner of Oxford & Burton Sts in Darlinghurst. Built c 1910 when Oxford St was widened from 66ft to 100ft (following 1909 RC recommendations). Work undertaken by @cityofsydney, and entire north side rebuilt, led by City Architect RH Broderick. Does anyone know architect of this fine building? #oxfordstreetsydney #burtonstreet #wedgebuilding #cornerbuilding #curved corner #urbanarchitecture #publicworks #streetwidening #1909royalcommissionintoimprovemntofsydney #sandstone #brickwork #sydneyarchitecture #australianarchitecture #architecture
Sydney Corner Buildings 1; Starting a series on the distinctive corners that respond architecturally to city’s quirky street layout. Old, new & in between. Starting & starring with Stephenson & Turner’s Dental Hospital, surprisingly built in 4 seamless stages during 1930’s. In its original 6 storey incarnation was painted blood red #publicsydney @cityofsydney #dentalhospital #sydneydentalhospital #stephensonturner #wedgebuilding #cornerbuilding #elizabethstreet #chamberstreet #urbanarchitecture #publicworks #modernarchitecture #sydneyarchitecture #australianarchitecture #architecture
