Atlassian Central is a skyscraper in Sydney, Australia, currently under construction and located next to Sydney’s main transport hub, Sydney Central Railway Station. Designed by SHoP Architects and BVN Architecture,[1] the building will rise 42 stories to a height of 183 meters.[2] Once completed, it will be the tallest hybrid timber structure in the world, built using a combination of mass timber, concrete, and steel.[3] The design features a glass and steel exoskeleton, planted terraces, and an innovative natural ventilation system.[4]
The building will house Atlassian's headquarters and also include spaces dedicated to YHA Australia, which will occupy the lower five floors with it’s 500-bed “co-living” accommodation.[5]
History
[edit]Initial design of the building began in 2019 and was completed two and a half years laster in August 2022, after 160 different cost plans, 55 embodied-carbon assessments, and 50 different design submissions.[5] Atlassian engaged KPMG for their Direct Negotiation Proposal to the NSW Government to procure the site.[6]
Construction of the building by a joint venture between Built Pty Ltd and Obayashi Corporation[7] began in August 2022[8] and is expected to be completed by 2026 at an estimated cost of approximately $1.4 billion Australian dollars.[2][9][5] Its development is part of the New South Wales government's plan to create a technology district in the area adjacent to Sydney Central railway station.[4]
