We are delighted to share that the Carpe Diem project completed for ITS at Barangaroo has won an award for Interior Architecture at the AIA NSW Awards. From the jury citation:

“Holding the harbourside corner of Barangaroo Tower, Carpe Diem entices visitors and occupants to share a moment with the view from levels 30 to 31 and exudes comfort whether contemplating alone or sharing with others. The immediacy of the maritime context is drawn in through details of nautical precision. Carpe Diem is a kinetic architecture enhanced by the movement of people scaling the stair and the flexibility of space achieved with push perfect sliding leather banquettes. The coolness of the stainless steel is contrasted with the warmth of the leather and timber. The materiality and detailing makes for a tactile experience unlocked through a structural solution that effortlessly floats treads and platforms alike. Fundamental to the project was the resolution of complex structural changes required to remove concrete slabs, floor beams and support the facade and level of the building above. The structural design inserted to manage this feat is so expertly detailed it disappears from view accentuating the perception of the companionway platforms levitating against the harbour view”
