One Central Park
By : jean nouvel
One Central Park is a mixed-use dual high-rise building located
in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale in New South Wales,
Australia
Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of
the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of
Sydney. The program includes a 34-story residential
apartment tower and a 12-story serviced apartment tower
set on a common retail podium.The 130 meter high
building is the culminating landmark of the multi-building
Frasers Broadway project, located on a former brewery
site near the downtown.
Hydroponic walls and low profile horizontal planters and support cables integrated into the tower’s
facades support a variety of climbing and spreading plants. The plants act as a natural sun control
device that changes with the seasons, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while
admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. A combination of sustainable design strategies makes Block
2 the first residential tower in Sidney to achieve a 6 Green Star rating.
The apartments and serviced apartments feature indoor/outdoor loggias that extend the living space
outside to take maximum advantage of Sidney’s temperate climate. On the north and east façades, the
loggias extend in from the façade to protect residents from noise, wind and sun. On the south and
west they extend out from the façade to take maximum advantage of views toward the park.
The Central Park precinct as a whole
includes a range of “green
infrastructure” initiatives including
green roofs, living façades, recycling
demolished materials, adaptive re-
use of buildings, sewer mining,
water harvesting, trigen, and car
share. This will result in the
following environmental benefits:
All buildings minimum 5 Green Star
