The tower in 39 Martin Place and designed by the architecture and Urban Design Practice Tzans is strategically located above the southern entrance to the Sydney Martin Place. It integrates seamlessly into the largest public transport project of Australia – the Metro Sydney.
Tzanne's urban design for the district and the renovation of 39 Martin Place reflects a deep understanding of how architecture can improve urban experience and contribute to a more sustainable development. The new form for the district developed by Tzanese significantly increased the density of the density and improved the convenience of the public domain.
The increase in the density contributes to improving the negative effects of urban spread with a design that also improves the characteristic properties of this district for the benefit of Sydney.
Amy Dowse, director of Tzannes, says that the 39 Martin Place Tower feels like he was completed almost 100 years after his 1928 cultural heritage neighbor from Martin Place from 1928.
“39 Martin Place intentionally respects his historically significant context and provides a sustainable future for this unique part of Sydney,” she says.
“The project is permanent in its nature – it is designed for the duration of the project. We carefully placed cautiously with the design of a building with a lifespan and high quality that corresponds to its special location.
“Our design creates a pronounced goal of Martin Place, which is formed by architecture” in conversation “between the past and the present.
An essential feature of the building is its innovative approach to sustainability. In contrast to conventional commercial towers that rely heavily on glass, 39 Martin Place combine fixed and glazed facades.
The podium should react to the context of the cultural heritage through the use of masonry and offer carefully framed views. The reduced facade glazing alleviates the effects and energy consumption in urban heat, without reducing the internal convenience.
“I think Australia is at the top of the commercial tower design. There are very few successful examples of towers internationally that minimize their use of glass,” says Dowse.
“We have strategically designed this tower in such a way that it is very energy -efficient and durable and at the same time created a lively bourgeois space in its ground level and through the broader district. Our goal was to create a building that not only corresponds to today's sustainability standards, but also shows what is possible in a commercial tower and in urban district design.”
39 Martin Place belongs to the Investa Commercial Property Fund and Manulife and houses renowned tenants such as the Australian Securities Exchange, Natixis, Commons, ESR Australia and Ashurst Lawyers.
The development of 39 Martin Place required a highly respected urban design and architecture over and under the ground. The project is located in Sydney's historical finance district and is near to important sights on Martin Place and Hunter Street, including 50 Martin Place, Harry Seidlers MLC MLC Center from 1977, Richard Johnson Memorial and Chifley Square.
Tzanne was first hired with a peer check from Martin Place Metro Precinct Plans and later carried out a comprehensive urban design examination for the METRO district of Martin Place. The robust design process of practice identified Martin Place as the financial and bourgeois heart of the city.
Subsequently, Tzanne's clear guidelines for the project set to preserve the character of Martin Place and at the same time to record a new development that had to implement the variation of existing development controls. Due to her strategic participation, Tzans was then involved with the design of 39 Martin Place as one of the two key buildings in the district, with the other tower in Elizabeth Street No. 1 of JPW.
Tzannes '39 Martin Place is a building that integrates seamlessly into its surroundings, respects its neighbors of the cultural heritage and improves the existing character of the existing district. The podestarchitecture with granite, bronze and ceramic tiles reflects the essentials of the stimulation building opposite by Ross and Rowe from the 1920s.
Ceramic tiles frame the glass curtain wall and form a conservative structure and supportive plant rooms over several levels. The shape of the tower respects and strengthens the traditional network in Central Sydney-Straße, which creates a special threshold in order to adequately distinguish the wider and pedestrian Martin town from other streets in Sydney.
The upper levels of the podium and the tower integrate the U -Bahn services in a way that protects Martin Place's public domain and at the same time ensure practical and efficient commercial floor plates at the top. Elements such as structure leaves offer monumental character for the building base and at the same time create an openness to improve the public domain.
The design also improves the urban experience of the adjacent MLC Plaza and its architecture and completes part of the Martin location, which was often seen as a lack of architectural reaction to the unique character of the area.
The new district is seamless to the Martin Place underground station, for which Grimshaw was the main architect, Australia's most developed example of an integrated station design, which includes an underground subway station and a pedestrian connection, an above-ground pedestrian district and the two developments with mixed usage stations over the ground.
The entire project that comprises the two new towers, the integration of the 50 Martin Place of the Macquarie Bank and the New Martin Place Metro station formed a successful undesirable proposal from the Macquarie group to the NSW government, which was delivered by Lendlease.
Tzans' targeted design of the Martin Place Metro Precinct and 39 Martin Place Tower creates a coherent and identifiable district that enriches the urban environment of Sydney.
39 Martin Place aims to significantly reduce the environmental impacts that are typically associated with commercial glass towers. By minimizing glass consumption, especially in the lower platform, the tower reduces excess energy consumption and heat island effects. The details and the selection of materials optimize the longevity and minimize embodied carbon.
The building is looking for the highest sustainability values. 6 stars Green Star; 5.5 star Naber's energy; and 3.5 stars Naber's water. These reviews are supported by measures such as well-thought-out material selection, passive shading, climate change and resilience plan, complete electrification and building management and control system to provide reports of water and energy consumption.
Despite the top -class material ratio of the building, which significantly improves its energy efficiency, the design of 39 Martin Place does not affect the quality of the interiors or the views they offer. The thoughtful placement of glass elements ensures that the interior receives a plenty of natural light and maintains prospects, including a view of the surrounding landmarks of the cultural heritage.
Tzanne's' design of 39 Martin Place contributes to a regenerative future for Sydney, in which buildings and spaces not only reduce environmental impact, but also actively restore and improve the health and well -being of the community for the benefit of future generations.
