Sydney’s New Icon | Barangaroo?
Billionaire businessman, James Packer has shortlisted four of the world’s best architects to bid to design and build the urban masterpiece that will be Crown Sydney.
The proposed $1 billion six-star Crown Sydney resort will be a dramatic addition to Sydney’s skyline and be built across a giant 6,000 square metre site in Barangaroo.
The four contending firms include Adrian Smith + Gill Architecture, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Renzo Piano and Wilkinson Eyre Architects.
Three of the four firms have already toured the site, with the fourth expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Architectural firms have been given until April to submit their proposed designs with the project awarded in May.
