8 Mirvac architects FJMT have developed innovative solutions to both office apartment buildings Mirvac has an excellent reputation as developers of quality buildings. The renewal of the Walsh Bay precinct from a working port to a mixed use precinct is a very successful creation of a new cosmopolitan environment. More recently Mirvac have developed a new commercial building at 200 George Street and a new apartment building at Green Square with both designs incorporating circular geometry through the design input of Richard Francis-Jones of FJMT Architects. 200 George is a new commercial building at the Circular Quay end of George Street. It replaces a nondescript building with a taller tower that has a series of circular shapes that evolve as the building gets taller. The floor plans give a variety of floor plate sizes and configurations while giving a dynamic expression to the new building compared to its mainly rectangular neighbouring buildings. The exception is across George Street where Harry Seidlers Grosvenor Place also has a strong use of the circle in its geometry. 200 George uses timber in an innovative manner behind the external glass skin. At ground level the building creates a throroughfare to an existing laneway and provides new public spaces. Ovo at Green Square is a new apartment tower that also utilises circular geometry to give a dynamic expression to the building.
