The SIRIUS building is Sydney’s most iconic Brutalist landmark, defining the skyline of The Rocks since 1979. Designed by architect Tao Gofer, its striking geometric forms and bold architectural language have made it a symbol of strength and character.
Once at risk of demolition, SIRIUS has been meticulously reimagined and redeveloped, transforming from public housing into one of Sydney’s most prestigious redevelopments. The private residences within SIRIUS embrace a refined lifestyle, seamlessly blending the building’s original geometric design with contemporary elegance.
Nestled between the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, SIRIUS is deeply connected to the rich fabric of the harbourside, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of the city’s most historic and vibrant locations.
