Quay Quarter Tower

Quay Quarter Tower is a landmark commercial redevelopment in Sydney’s Circular Quay precinct, completed in 2022. Rather than demolishing the original 1976 AMP Centre, the project retains approximately 65% of the existing structure, significantly reducing embodied carbon while transforming the building into a contemporary, high-performance workplace. The tower is conceived as a “vertical village,” with stacked and rotated volumes that create outdoor terraces, varied floor plates, and strong visual connections to the harbour and city skyline. The design prioritises human-centred and sustainable principles, enhancing daylight access, natural ventilation, and opportunities for collaboration. Generous communal spaces, a public lobby and market hall, and integrated landscape and public art strengthen the building’s relationship with the public realm. Quay Quarter Tower demonstrates a progressive model for adaptive reuse and sustainable high-rise design, setting a benchmark for future commercial developments.
