Text description provided by the architects. Alpha’s unique design represents the future character of urban architecture in Sydney, with a distinctive design and style which sets it apart from other developments. Its hexagonal pod-like façade creates an environmental screen which controls light and frames the views, allowing maximum exposure as well as privacy. The seven storey building encompasses seventy one bedroom and two bedroom apartments and retail/commercial spaces. The top levels contain two and three bedroom two storey ‘skyhomes’ with hexagonal metal pods leading onto expansive roof terraces with panoramic views towards the city and surrounding parklands.

数字软件被用来以一种高成本效益的方式实现这个标志性的外观。与中国工厂合作，我们将外观简化为单一的铝型材挤压，类似于窗玻璃。这与一个标准的节点连接意味着整个外墙的实现成本为建筑成本的2.5%-低于正常的立面。我们最大的挑战是证明先进的设计元素并不比标准设计昂贵。

Digital software was use to realise this iconic façade in a highly cost effective way. Working with the factory in China we rationalised the façade down to a single aluminium extrusion, similar to a window mullion. This combined with a standard nodal connection meant the entire façade was realised for 2.5% of the construction cost- less than a normal facade. Our greatest challenge has been in demonstrating that progressive design elements are no more expensive than standard designs.
