Mirvac Design

The suburb of Newington is 15km from Sydney’s CBD and was the home to the 2000 Sydney Olympics housing 16,000 athletes.

It comprises 2,000 dwellings and includes 400 hectares of parkland, pedestrian linkages, a school and shopping centre.

Newington demonstrates how a community can be realised, not just for the period of an event, but as important, for a permanent community that now reside here.

The architectural challenge was to create a coherent overall composition, while at the same time achieving an individual and recognisable expression for each of the buildings. Mirvac Design worked with a number of architectural practices to produce a variety of dwelling types.
