“DiverCity”是一项由具有相关零售用途的住宅建筑组成的开发项目，也是滑铁卢悉尼门系列建筑中的第一个。

‘Divercity’ is a development comprising residential buildings with associated retail uses, and is the first in a family of buildings at Sydney Gate, Waterloo.

建筑设计所固有的是与公共领域的密切关系。直接在该地点的东面，北公园将为居民和更广泛的社区提供新的开放空间。一个明确定义的“店面”风格的零售分局已经从伯克街延伸开来。

Inherent to the building design is the close relationship with the public domain. Directly to the east of the site, North Park will provide new open space for the residents and the wider community. A clearly defined ‘shop front’ style retail precinct has been extended around from Bourke Street.

创建一个建筑家族而不是单一的建筑实体的愿望强烈地影响了建筑形式和特征的方向。零售用途较活跃的街道正面或庭院公寓，以更被动的正面，使建筑物的街道边缘。上层被分解成较小的元素来创建一系列的建筑形式。建筑元素的顶层不同高度，金属包层用于加固建筑形式的顶部。

The desire to create a family of buildings rather than a single building entity has strongly influenced the direction of the building form and character. Retail uses to the more active street frontages or courtyard apartments to the more passive frontages hold the buildings to the street edges. Upper levels are broken into smaller elements to create a series of building forms. The top levels of building elements vary in height with metal cladding used to reinforce the top of the building forms.

在街道层面，使用的触觉材料包括复合木材覆层、金属覆层、关键节点的特征玻璃和非形状的混凝土元件。在上层，一个类似的调色板被使用，虽然以一种更克制和稳健的方式。除了为建筑正面提供外部遮阳的主要功能外，百叶窗和突出的建筑元素还用来加强建筑物的特性。

At street level the tactile materials used include composite timber cladding, metal cladding, feature glazing at key nodal points, and off-form concrete elements. On the upper levels, a similar palette is used although in a more restrained and robust manner. Louvres and projecting building elements are used to reinforce the character of the building in addition to the primary function of providing external shading to building facades.
