Project details
The project encompassed the crafting and installation of intricate elements using San Francisco granite, carefully selected to harmonise with the iconic stone prevalent at Bennelong Point. Our scope included the fabrication of large-format double-curved column panels, facade cladding panels, overhead stone soffits, and the interior detailing of the double-height lobby and fireplace stone walls. Each piece required bespoke support systems and steelwork framing to accommodate the unique shapes and weights, demanding exacting structural coordination.
Upholding safety and design integrity
Navigating the challenges inherent in integrating eccentric stone designs into a modern architectural framework was a focal point of our work. We meticulously identified and addressed gaps in structural support, innovating solutions that ensured both safety and design integrity were upheld throughout the project. Our commitment to safety in design was paramount, as we safeguarded against compromises in the aesthetic or structural robustness of the final installation.
Today, the Opera Residences grace Sydney’s skyline and stand proudly among the city’s most revered landmarks. Our team takes immense pride in our contribution to this development, knowing that our dedication to precision and innovation has left a lasting impression on Sydney’s architectural landscape.
