Shaping Cremorne: The Architects’ Perspective
+ Add to ItineraryDescription
Explore the transformative architectural landscape of Cremorne on this engaging walking tour, highlighting four projects by Fieldwork. Each building is a testament to Cremorne's shift from an industrial past to a vibrant, modern commercial hub.
The tour includes 22–26 Gordon Street, a nine-storey mixed-use development that enhances the public realm with a corner pocket of landscape and café, all while reflecting Cremorne's industrial character through contemporary design. Meanwhile, 1–11 Gordon Street breathes new life into a historic factory, incorporating solar shading and a striking pleated glass façade, while offering a rooftop pavilion for communal gatherings. At 9–11 Cremorne Street, you'll see an innovative office tower that integrates a heritage façade with a climate-responsive design, featuring operable shutters for sun shading and creating an interplay of light and space. Finally, 65–81 Dover Street presents an eight-storey office building with a focus on sustainability, social spaces and urban connectivity, including a rooftop offering expansive views.
Each project demonstrates a thoughtful balance of heritage preservation, innovation and sustainable urban design. The tour offers a rare opportunity to explore these dynamic spaces and hear firsthand from the architects about the vision and design principles that have shaped these buildings.
