International House Sydney and Daramu House
Pioneering mass timber commercial buildings
International House Sydney (IHS) is Australia’s first engineered timber office building. The design proves that timber is both a viable low-carbon alternative to concrete and a highly desirable property investment. Its commercial success immediately led to the commissioning of Daramu House by the same client.
Dangrove Art Storage Facility
A visionary arts facility
Dangrove is a specialist facility housing Judith Neilson’s globally significant collection of contemporary Chinese art in Sydney’s Alexandria. It also functions as a public exhibition, display, screening, and performance space. Tzannes’ design has been studied by leading art institutions worldwide, providing a model for future collection management projects.
Brewery Yard
Innovative adaptive reuse of heritage
The Brewery Yard transformed Sydney’s historically significant 19th and early 20th-century Kent Brewery buildings into a single commercial, hospitality and retail complex. The design has created a vibrant central hub within a dynamic public precinct in Chippendale that harmoniously merges the contemporary needs of the site while honouring its industrial heritage.
39 Martin Place
Revitalising Sydney's financial centre
This new 28-storey tower re-establishes Martin Place as the financial heart of the Sydney CBD. The development, located above the southern entrance of the Sydney Martin Place Metro Station, seamlessly integrates an award-winning commercial centre with Australia’s largest public transport project, the Sydney Metro.
The Woollahra Hotel & Bistro Moncur
Designing an enduring hospitality precinct
Over a period of 15 years, Tzannes transformed an inner-city precinct bounded by Queen, Moncur and Smith Streets in Sydney’s Woollahra into a cohesive hospitality destination. This precinct includes a rare example of enduring hospitality design, the 1937 Art Deco Woollahra Hotel. It encompasses the much-loved Bistro Moncur and an adjacent commercial building housing the Moncur Cellars bottle shop.
Darling Square North
Creating a new neighbourhood
Darling Square North sets a new benchmark for high-density residential design in Sydney. It integrates three residential towers above a six-storey podium within one of the inner city’s most activated new mixed-use precincts. The design demonstrates how density, when shaped by strong urban design and placemaking, can deliver memorable, engaging and resilient city environments.
Opera Residences
Quality integrated apartment living
Opera Residences expresses the quintessential Sydney experience of living in the world’s most beautiful harbour city. Tzannes’ design enhances the distinct urban characteristics of East Circular Quay, connecting the northern edge of the city centre to architect Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House and transforming a previously neglected part of this iconic precinct.
6 Hassall Street
An education and commercial innovation hub
6 Hassall Street breaks new ground by combining an education facility for two universities and an A-grade commercial space in the heart of Parramatta’s CBD, creating a world-leading innovation hub. Tzannes’ joint design with Blight Rayner is driven by cutting-edge knowledge of well-being for work and learning environments, which future-proofs technology innovations and adapts to changing tenant requirements.
City of Sydney Street Furniture
Transforming the city streetscape
This new unified range of street furniture has enhanced Sydney’s urban character. These designs successfully contribute to the streetscape and enrich the city’s amenity, creating a distinctive sense of place for residents and visitors.
Master Plans and Studies
Early studies lead to excellent outcomes for clients and users
Tzannes’ thoughtful and analytical approaches to sites and development projects create new opportunities for our clients. These projects demonstrate how successful and enduring developments are underpinned by robust and well-researched feasibility studies.
