Sirius Building - The Rocks, Sydney
The Sirius building is an apartment complex in The Rocks district of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Designed for the Housing Commission of New South Wales in 1978–1979 by commission architect Tao Gofers, the building is a prominent example of Brutalist architecture in Australia.
Notable for being the only high rise development in The Rocks, Sirius housed 79 apartments with one, two, three or four bedrooms, generally with single storey apartments to two and three storey walk ups. The complex was built to rehouse displaced public tenants after a controversial redevelopment of the Rocks during the 1960s and 70s.
Size: 72x32x8cm frame
Total Weight: Approximately 8kg
The model is framed in Birch Plywood with a hanger for wall-mounting.
Each model is hand-cast with its own small deviations in colour, finish and texture and may include minor imperfections or air pockets conducive with a plaster finish.
We strongly recommend that the hanging point is in a stud or strong fixing point due to the weight of the model.
