Frontek porcelain cladding has been selected to be part of the new look for the redevelopment of 33 Alfred Street, Sydney’s first skyscraper located in one of the most iconic parts of the Sydney Harbour skyline between the Opera House and Circular Quay.
Designed by Johnson Pilton Walker (JPW), and constructed by Built in collaboration with Inhabit Group and Austech Facades, the redevelopment and refurbishment will be the most comprehensive upgrade since the building was opened in 1962.
The cladding panels to be used in the redevelopment are the result of a special collaboration between the 450-year-old Dutch company Koninklijke Tichelaar B.V. and Frontek.
JPW defined some customised glazes in order to maintain the building’s heritage characteristics and reinstate lost building features.
