Plans for a former industrial site at Zetland have won a design award for its developer.
The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) have honoured the Sydney-based Crown Group with the award for Best Concept Design for its Crown Green Square development.
The mixed-use project on Botany Road will be positioned within the new town centre of the Green Square precinct.
A ground-floor retail space of 5000 square metres will underpin Crown’s 416 planned apartments.
Judges believed the design, by Koichi Takada Architects and based on two entwined loops, will create a visual connection between the residential areas and public space as well as incorporating a pedestrian tunnel to the train station at Green Square.
One of the applauded features is the retention of sunlight to the Green Square Plaza and library. Another is a planned open-air dining precinct.
“There are very few distinguishing buildings which proclaim one of Sydney’s most ambitious town centre initiatives,” said UDIA-NSW chief judge and urban engineer, Laurie Rose.
“And while this project is still taking place, it is clear this development will do just that.”
The Crown Group chief executive officer, Iwan Sunito, believes it will be a landmark building for the Green Square town centre.
“The design incorporates a unique curved form and will feature the five-star resort-style facilities for which Crown has become renowned,” Mr Sunito said.
The project is due to start construction next year and be complete in 2017.
Other recent awards for Crown Group include this year’s international property award for the best residential development in Australia going to their Top Ryde City Living project, which also won last year’s UDIA award for high-density development.
It is expected Green Square will be home to more than new 40,000 residents and 22,000 new workers by 2030.
