WINNER OF DESIGN EXCELLENCE . Gosford 'Central Coast Quarter'

Furtado Sullivan in collaboration with DKO won a design excellence competition for St. Hilliers new mixed-use precinct in the centre of Gosford.

The proposal envisaged a collection of buildings that spoke to context and culture – modern Artefacts, each unique to its place and function, forming a strong urban composition placed on a vibrant ground plane. Three distinct buildings, each with its individual identity - an urban ensemble rooted in place.

A building entry with a unique identity knitted into the precinct fabric. Generous in scale, the lobby is immersed in the ‘hanging swamp’, offering outdoor seating and offer views across to the water. Internally, it is designed to be flexible as well as a vibrant and active place, connected to the tower, accessible to all.
