Kaz Tower is an iconic World Architecture Award winning building featuring Aboriginal art and food from the Sydney Aboriginal Cafe in the lobby.
An incredible highly sculptural yet contextual multi-award winning building which sets an incredibly high benchmark for contemporary CBD design. Winner of 2020 World Architecture Award; 2020 World Architecture Best Façade; 2020 World Architecture Best Colour in Architecture; 2019 Excellence in Brick and Block Awards.
The façade of the Kaz Tower is dominated by a mosaic of angled window bays in a palette of bright colours that liven up the city street. The façade has an environmental purpose. The window bays are angled to maximise light. Kaz used parametric modelling to calculate the direction of the sun at different times, and directed the angle of the windows accordingly. In this way technology makes possible a building which captures every bit of sun creating one of the most unique buildings in Australia. The mosaic effect is reinforced by the use of coloured side panels which frame the windows and enhance the facets.
The lobby is home to Sydney Aboriginal Cafe which delivers a unique cultural and food experience. The cafe features Aboriginal art and food from the Koori Kulcha Aboriginal Corporation, a not-for-profit Community organisation.
The best way to really appreciate the World Architecture Award winning design is to see for yourself.
