10 Crown Group have developed exciting apartment projects for Sydney sites Infinity by Crown GroupInfinity by Crown Group Crown Group led by architect Iwan Sunito and Paul Sathio have developed a very innovative approach to the design of inner city apartment buildings in Sydney. At Green Square Crown Group held an architectural competition won by Koichi Takada a Japanese architect now working in Sydney. Koichis approach to design is informed by nature with an interest in the more fluid shapes that come from natural systems. The design of Infinity by Crown Group creates a rolling continuous building form that gives a strong identity to the building. The large site could have had two separate towers but the creative linking of the building form into one flowing shape gives a much more interesting solution. To the north a large opening allows sunlight into the central shared courtyard and to the south a direct connection to the Green Square railway station makes this a very well connected location for urban living. Sydney by Crown Group on Clarence Street in the centre of Sydney is another innovative apartment building that sets itself apart from most tall city buildings with its dramatic roof profile. The architect is Koichi Takada and the design begins with a dramatic flowing lobby space and culminates with a pair of steel roof circular forms. These are important shared spaces for residents contained by the soaring vaults and create a resort like environment within the urban structure of the city. Viking by Crown Group is located near Green Square adjacent to the Victoria Park development on an elongated triangular site. The design by MHN Design Union does not use curving shapes but innovates through the use of colour and an abstract art like expression of individual windows on its southern elevation. What could have been a flat uninteresting south elevation has become a vital and dynamic expression of urban living. The architects were influenced by the art of Kinetic artist Yaacov Agam.
