2022 The Urban Developer Awards, Development of the Year – Commercial, Shortlisted

Oculus is a new commercial building near the intersection of Oxford and Crown Street in Darlinghurst. It is a building that reflects the graphic and urban nature of the precinct. It has an innovative brick façade to the street with a giant circular opening that reveals the activity of the commercial studios within. Landscaping is integrated throughout the structure – providing a green feature to each level that will also cascade over the façade.

The project creates new quality workspaces in the dense and historic area of Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. For a precinct renowned as a creative hub of Sydney, this project provides an ideal outcome to businesses seeking high calibre workspace on the city edge.
