On Tuesday JPW Director Matthew Morel and Principal Matteo Salval led a tour of 1 Elizabeth - the newly completed Macquarie Group headquarters. 1 Elizabeth is integrated with both the Sydney Metro Martin Place Station below and the heritage 50 Martin Place building, creating an expansive campus. Attendees had a unique opportunity to see a future-focussed workplace close-up and enjoy great views over the city and the harbour beyond. The presentation explored the project's journey from inception to delivery including the reinstatement of heritage artworks and new public art commissions. We thank Macquarie for welcoming the group and the Australian Institute of Architects, as well as the attendees for their engaging interaction throughout the event. A special thanks to our Martin Place Metro North Tower team members Jade Tran, Jacopo Scattolin, Vy Pham, Ben Rowbotham and Wayne Dickerson for helping on the night, and to Oliver Ju for capturing the event images. #JPW, #Architecture, #FutureFocusedWorkplace, #Sydney, #HeritageAndInnovation

The City of Sydney trial of JPW-designed ‘minimal watering’ planters for George Street has been performing beyond expectations. The prototypes have required no watering since installation five months ago. Plantabox has been monitoring the various prototypes at the corner of George and Campbell Streets since installation. The trial will continue into next year, providing valuable insights into their performance across all seasons.

JPW congratulate Macquarie Group on their vision and commitment to deliver on this once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of Sydney’s civic and business district.

6&8 Parramatta Square has won the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Property Council of Australia Innovation and Excellence Awards. The iconic 55-storey commercial tower identifies the Parramatta CBD as the preeminent urban centre within Greater Sydney, establishing new benchmarks in contemporary workplace, sustainability and placemaking for a range of private sector and government institutions, and defining Parramatta Square as a vibrant civic meeting place for the community.

August marked a significant milestone for Festival Tower, now officially open! Developed by Walker Corporation, Festival Tower enhances the Adelaide CBD, joining a wave of investment in transport, educational, and cultural infrastructure that makes the area increasingly attractive to businesses seeking a dynamic economic environment.

During the ceremony, he highlighted Westpac’s move to Festival Tower as a strong vote of confidence in the South Australian economy and its future growth. Having recently won the 2024 UDIA SA Award of Excellence for Innovation in Development, Festival Tower is Walker’s signature statement in Adelaide, setting a new benchmark in office design and wellbeing.

Festival Tower, by Walker Corporation, has won the 2024 UDIA SA Award of Excellence for Innovation in Development. In 2020, Walker Corporation invited JPW to develop detailed design proposals for Adelaide Festival Plaza, with a focus on the precinct’s signature commercial Festival Tower. Now complete, Festival Tower, a key component of South Australia's significant urban transformation, features an all-electric design, a 6-star Green Star rating, a 5.5-star NABERS energy rating, extensive solar panels, high performance facades and a comprehensive rainwater harvesting system, all of which work together to minimise the building's environmental footprint. At ground level, the building is seamlessly integrated to the upgraded public realm with the main foyer entry from Station Road and a through-site link connection to King William Road. Walker Corporation quotes “Festival Tower is our signature statement in Adelaide, combining decades of learnings to set a new benchmark in office design and wellbeing.” Congratulations to Walker Corporation and the broader project team on receiving this award, recognising Festival Tower and the new benchmark it sets for innovation, urban renewal, placemaking, and sustainability.

Parramatta Square, by Walker Corporation and the City of Parramatta, has won the 2024 UDIA NSW & Urban Property Group Award of Excellence in Urban Renewal. In 2012, JPW began work with the City of Parramatta to develop the urban design principles for the Parramatta Square precinct, prior to winning an open international design competition for the first of stage of development. Over the next 10 years, JPW would work with Walker Corporation to develop and implement the precinct masterplan, including the design of three distinct buildings, and collaborate with the City of Parramatta and other design practices to integrate the design of public spaces and buildings into the development. The precinct has emerged as the civic heart of Parramatta and Greater Sydney. Congratulations to Walker Corporation, the City of Parramatta Council and the broader project team on receiving this award, and the continued recognition of Parramatta Square in establishing new benchmarks for urban renewal, placemaking, and sustainability.   Walker Corporation, City of Parramatta, JPW, Carr, BG&E, LCI Consultants, Arup, JMD design, Built.   #JPW #ParramattaSquare #citymaking #architecture #architectureaustralia #urbandesign #commercialarchitecture #placemaking #tallbuildings #parramatta #urbanrenewal   Photography: Built.
