Four designs for two large commercial towers in the heart of Sydney have been unveiled by Parramatta City Council, with proposals from Sydney based Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, Johnson Pilton Walker, Bates Smart, and Italian practice Mario Cucinella Architects. Attracting over 73 submissions from around the world, the two towers will act as the centerpiece for the Parramatta Square’s three-hectare site.

The shortlist is part of stages five and six of the total master plan, previous projects of which have been awarded to the likes of Grimshaw Architects. Review the projects and read the jury’s comments after the break…

Councillor John Chedid, Lord Mayor of Sydney, described the the projects as “forward-thinking, innovative solutions,” going on to say that “without question, this creative range of designs, submitted by many of the leading architecture firms across the world today, will help us meet our future business, cultural, entertainment and tourism needs, and signpost Parramatta in a distinctive, unique way.”

Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp’s proposal was described as “two elegant, connected, tapering geometric towers that have the potential to become signature buildings in Parramatta Square.”

Of the Johnson Pilton Walker scheme, the jury said that it created links between Parramatta Square, Darcy Street and the Parramatta Station concourse, extending open public space over the two levels. They added that “the rectilinear towers hover high above the new open space, which is a grand gesture to Parramatta Square.”
