No.1 Shelley Street is an 11 storey office building in the King Street Wharf precinct, completed in 2009. The diagonal steel structural system that sits beyond the building's glass façade is a 'diagrid', which removes the need for perimeter columns and maximises fit-out design flexibility. The unique design of this building, occupied by Macquarie Bank, has created a dynamic addition to the Sydney skyline.

Great photo and it certainly does create a unique look.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth : )
That is the first I have seen of that design, maybe the only. A building in a cage.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Really unique design! It does look a bit like a building in a cage! I love it! Terrific capture as always, Jim! Hope you have a great week!

I start to learn something about Sydney!
ReplyDeleteYou are so far away from here!
Is good for me to understand not only the images but the atmosphere and the spirit of the city!
Thanks!

I am reminded of a tea-cosy. I like this building, but have only viewed it from the Maritime Museum.
ReplyDeleteUr early riser huh?
ReplyDeleteSweden & Australian soon have a 10 hrs different §;-)
Now, am drooling and really have the urge to be in Sydney now. I went to university longtime ago in Maitland & had live in Melbourne.
Your country is to die for.
Absolutely fantastic scenes. Sydney really changing it'a atmosphere compare when am this early 80's.
Thanks a mill, mate for touring me in your gorgeous city. Soon, I'll be there. Will stay at our mate house in Parramata.
C yah around.
Cheers,

No worries, Richie. I think you'll find that Sydney and Parramatta have changed a lot since the early 1980s.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an amazing building.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen any of these. Might be time for a wander down that way.
ReplyDeleteNever seen before architecture. Thank you for sharing. Indeed impressive a sight. Please have a good Tuesday.

Your city has some very interesting architecture!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and colorful photo! A original buildning, beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteit does look rather like a building in a cage. or a metal mesh bag!
ReplyDeleteNow, THAT'S unusual!
ReplyDeleteI just love that design and the concept, diagrid. It makes for a very striking design.
ReplyDeletea very modern looking building, including the artwork in the front.
ReplyDeleteThat looks very good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is great to see. I enjoy That's My World so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual and interesting building. I was wondering about the building behind the artwork in yesterday's post.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very interesting. I am amazed with those architectural ideas. I don't think it is beautiful in the sense of the old buildings but it suits a modern city. I love the sculptures, over dimensional vases.A Clever way to hide the ugly ventilation openings.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a delicious present! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot. I learned something architectural today. Thanks.
ReplyDeletevery interesting architecture! the sculptures are also eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteVery special architecture ! It looks nice !
ReplyDeleteGrande foto....
ReplyDeleteIt's a very special place, I like the sight!
ReplyDeleteHumph...what they do with engineering! That is pretty neat - so I guess the outside is protected - what about the inside - I am guessing that infrastructure is a must - LOL! Wonder what that would look like? When building a house once - it was fun to watch it all come together - bet that was a job - the structural engineering aspects, as well as the building of it.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! Love the photo share of Sydney.
ReplyDeleteMy watery photos are shrimp boats coming in and a sailboat going out. Do stop by if you get a chance.
Very interesting and beautiful structure! Living in California, the first that comes to mind is how it will hold up in an earthquake")
ReplyDeleteJeanette, Sydney is not prone to earthquakes but never say never. Newcastle, which is a city 127kms north of Sydney was rocked by a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 1989.
ReplyDeletegood looking building.
ReplyDeleteinteresting
Great shot! It's perfect as usual!

Have a happy weekend*******
