The University of Sydney’s student accommodation project prioritizes Indigenous principles in its architectural design. The cruciform layout encourages social interaction through strategically placed units and a central core, fostering a sense of community. Each corner faces a landscaped area, integrating nature into the living environment. An atrium enhances vertical communication, aligning with Indigenous values of connectivity. The communal hub extends from individual living spaces, promoting shared experiences. With a capacity for seven students per unit, the design balances shared living and privacy, incorporating double-height living areas and steel mesh for a welcoming atmosphere. Reusing the International House structure harmonizes old and new elements, while ground floor modifications connect the site, fostering community relationships. The landscape design, following Indigenous principles, integrates local flora, reinforcing the project’s commitment to acknowledging Indigenous perspectives and values of community, kinship, and social responsibility. 16

The commercial tower at 388 George St in Sydney, deeply rooted in the city’s history, has undergone constant renovations to epitomize sustainable living. Initially awarded for its sustainable infrastructure, the tower’s 2018 renovation maintained its commitment to sustainability, yet commercialization has diminished public interaction. Financial strains, exacerbated by the pandemic, raise concerns about the building succumbing to corporate interests, jeopardizing its historical significance. Speculative design must prioritize preservation, considering current economics and the future CBD landscape. Redefining the podium, adjusting floor plates, and reintegrating the public realm are focal points. Respecting the land, reducing carbon footprint, enhancing public engagement, and introducing sustainable income sources aim to transform the building into a blueprint for future city infrastructure. 26
