Salesforce tower makes a distinctive contribution to Sydney’s iconic skyline. Designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Architectus, the scheme is characterised by a network of buzzing pedestrian laneways that criss-cross the site at different levels. An astounding 45% of the precinct is dedicated to community infrastructure, including the first public plaza created within the CBD in decades.
Facade Innovation
The facade features a series of external cross-braces derived from structural stress diagrams, allowing flexibility in interior layouts with the core offset to one side. On the southern elevation, the building is broken into three bays with the concrete cores ‘book-ending’ three transparent banks of lifts that animate the façade. The entire elevation is vertically articulated to modulate its visual impact on the skyline.
The workspaces at Salesforce Tower at Sydney Place are flexibly designed to support new ways of working in the 21st century, suitable for a whole range of organisations, from new start-ups to large companies. The offset core and column free workspaces maximise views of Sydney Harbour, and create a workspace that optimises community, collaboration, wellbeing, and productivity for workers.
A First for Sydney
The tower is the first ever building in Sydney to achieve Platinum WELL Core and Shell pre-certification rating. The city centre location provides occupants with an abundance of low carbon transport alternatives, including short walking distances to train stations, ferry terminals, and the light rail network along George Street. The design builds on the low carbon transport approach with a public cycle storage facility, with capacity for 200 bikes and a maintenance station in Sydney’s first ever public bike hub. The tower aims to achieve NABERS 5.5 Star energy performance and a Green Star rating of 6.
