In what felt like a Moses moment in the evolution of the new Sydney Fish Markets, we recently walked across the seafloor under the build before the coffers were ‘rewatered’. These shots capture a fish-eye view of the undercroft and foundations beneath what will become a revitalised waterfront – for the community, visitors and our marine ecology.

Sirius - retain, restore and reimagine a brutalist landmark.   Developer JDH Capital led the ambitious retrofit project in collaboration with BVN and Richard Crookes Constructions. By harmonising old and new, the skilful regeneration of this 1970s building marks an exciting new era. Sirius is a beacon for enduring architecture and radical adaptation projects – the world over.   On a civic scale, Sirius prioritises reconnection with the site and local community by carefully stitching the building back into its urban context, surrounding streets and pedestrian pathways of The Rocks.    Reintroducing landscaped public spaces allows our projects to prioritise opportunities for connection and interaction.    Find out more on our website: https://lnkd.in/gT5nuVNu Photo/video: Bryn Donkersloot

Excitement is high as the 2024 Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats international convention Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) kicks off today in London, with BVN participating as proud conference partners.

Our BVN London team, led by Principal Matthew Blair, will be joined by Principals Catherine Skinner, Peter Titmuss, and Phillip Rossington to present key projects including Atlassian Central (Future Projects Award of Excellence, CTBUH 2023), Quay Quarter Tower (Best Tall Building Worldwide, CTBUH 2023), Greenland Centre (Best Tall Building Oceania, CTBUH 2023), and Sirius. Our presentation sessions tomorrow Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th will explore how we’re tackling the challenges of urban density with sustainable, innovative design.

This week, our Senior Practice Director and Contracts Director – Kevin Murphy – pivots toward retirement. We’re taking a moment to reflect on 16 full-tilt years in which Kevin has made a profound impact on the firm. His imprint can be found across some 500 projects ranging from the New Aboriginal Art Gallery in Mparntwe Alice Springs, Atlassian HQ, New Sydney Fish Markets and Sirius in Sydney to UQ Brisbane City to Griffith University and Yarilla Place Coffs Harbour. Kevin is renowned for his integrity, generosity, quick wit and calming presence. His problem-solving ability is legendary and it is very likely that the words ‘what would Kevin do?’ will echo through our studios as BVNers summon the wisdom of this master architect and all-round gentleman. In the words of Principal David Kelly, “Kevin, your professionalism, knowledge and courage have had an enormous influence on the practice and the manner in which we do business… Your legacy is immense – thank you!”  Kevin will remain on our radar in a consultancy role as he prepares to embark on his next adventures. Please join us in thanking Kevin and wishing him the very best on his next endeavours.
