SYDNEY TOWN HALL SQUARE DESIGN APPOINTMENT

Continuing a stream of recently completed and celebrated public projects in Sydney, JPW and ASPECT Studios announce our partnership in the design of the City of Sydney’s most ambitious new public space — Town Hall Square.

The collaborative design team is deep in the creative process, exploring what a truly contemporary civic square can be for Sydney.

Town Hall Square is envisioned as a civic heart — a space that meets everyday needs while elevating the city’s shared centre. It’s an opportunity to create a public realm that is generous and inclusive.

JPW and ASPECT Studios have been responsible for the design and implementation of some of Australia’s most outstanding and awarded public spaces:
