Case study: Crown Tower

Crown Tower, also known as One Barangaroo, is a towering presence on the western waterfront of Sydney’s CBD, and is part of the globally renowned Barangaroo urban renewal project.

The building, designed by Chris Wilkinson, features a unique and complex façade geometry that emulates three petals that twist and rise together, maximising views of Sydney harbour. However, this presented a challenge when it came to shading solutions for the building.
