Architecture firm Tony Owen Partners are the designers of a new 'affordable' 15 storey high rise in Sydney's CBD.

The Castlereagh Sydney has a podium of angled concrete panels which aims 'to help the building relate to the surrounding solid office blocks'. On ground level a retail precinct of restaurants, cafes and designer shops will reside.

The upper levels consist of articulated bronze-coloured louvres which control sun and privacy. The screens are attached in different planes to achieve a mosaic effect, which is reflected in the interiors of the apartments and the lobby.

Another design feature is an atrium in the centre of the building which will act as a ventilation shaft, drawing out hot air.

All apartments include hardwood floors, mirrors, bespoke joinery, European appliances and highlight lighting.

Some bedrooms have decorative laser-cut sliding screens which filter light and divide spaces, however can slide back into position for privacy.

Windows and sliding glass doors are floor-to-ceiling.

There will be 50 apartments for sale which will start from $560,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment while three bedroom apartments will start for over $1.25 million.

Ben Stewart, director of CBRE Residential Project Marketing, said:

“Because of the limited supply of new accommodation in the CBD, capital growth of ‘blue chip’ buildings in exclusive locations is more pronounced than for any other form of residential property.”
