COMMERCIAL. SYDNEY CBD
Sussex Street.
A high-rise communal pool, with a run of water features and green walls at street level.
- Location
- Sydney CBD, NSW
- Type
- Commercial. Pool and water features
This Sussex Street building carries water in two places. At the top, a communal pool for residents looks back over the city. At the base, a sequence of water features and planted walls lines the entry, so the building meets the street with movement and greenery rather than a blank wall.
The rooftop pool is tiled in a deep blue mosaic set against timber decking. At ground level, sheets of water run over backlit glass and down a living wall, lit to hold their own after dark.
Other Projects
Frequently asked
Sydney CBD pool questions.
Can one project include a rooftop pool and street-level water features?
Yes. The Sussex Street building carries water in two places. A communal pool sits on the roof looking over the city, and a run of water features and planted walls lines the entry at street level. We built both as part of the one project.
Do you build water features and green walls as well as pools?
Yes. Along with pools, Wright Pools builds water features and planted walls. At Sussex Street, sheets of water run over backlit glass and down a living wall at ground level, lit to hold their own after dark.
What finish suits a high-rise communal rooftop pool?
This rooftop pool is tiled in a deep blue mosaic set against timber decking, with an edge that mirrors the city skyline. The mosaic and timber keep the finish warm while standing up to constant communal use.
