The Project
The First Building at Bradfield is the anchor of a new city centre in Western Sydney, designed by Hassell for the Bradfield Development Authority. Winner of the AIA NSW Architecture Award, it draws on First Nations material culture and advanced manufacturing to establish the civic identity of a precinct built from scratch.
The Approach
A building of this scale asks to be understood across time of day and distance. The brief was to capture both the public threshold and the warmth of the interiors, showing a building that belongs to its community as much as its skyline.
