I think it's getting dark in the streets of Sydney.

In the heart of Sydney’s traditional financial precinct and with views to Sydney harbour, this Premium-grade office building has been designed by Architectus, in association with Ingenhoven Architects, to combine the best in innovative technology and sustainability.

Space 1 Bligh will offer tenants the next generation in workspace design featuring a naturally ventilated, full-height atrium creating connectivity between floors. Other features include a large, sun-filled forecourt, entry hall and child care centre, a mid-level wintergarden and roof terrace.

The building comprises 42,000 square metres of floor space over 28-storeys with typical floors of about 1,600m2.

Environmental credentials

Space 1 Bligh has been designed to achieve a 6-star Green Star Rating and a 5-star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR).

Contributing to Space 1 Bligh’s green credentials is its distinctive double skin façade design. The transparent facade comprises two layers of glass which are separated by a naturally ventilated cavity. The cavity contains adjustable automatic blinds to shade the internal layer of glass at critical times of the day, dramatically reducing solar heat gain and glare while maintaining harbour views.

Black water recycling, rain water harvesting for irrigation, gas generated energy for cooling, heating and electricity, and roof-mounted solar panels for electricity also contribute to Space 1 Bligh’s environmental rating.

The building is set to create a new benchmark in Australia for sustainable high rise and provide an enduring presence attuned to emerging cultural, social and environmental values.
