Retrofit and Extension Highlights Historic Preservation Meets Modern Architecture SJB retained the building’s character by preserving the original timber frame structure and its soaring ceilings—key elements that respect its heritage while elevating its appeal. Bold New Façade with Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) The standout feature is the terracotta-colored UHPC slim slats that wrap the façade, introduced through an inspired design by SJB. Manufactured by AUGRC Australia, these slats tie in beautifully with the warm tones of neighboring heritage buildings. Contemporary Functionality & Layout The renovation offers approximately 8,500 sqm of commercial office space, spread across 11 levels. It includes upgraded communal amenities like a rooftop terrace, lobby café, and end-of-trip (EOT) facilities—modernizing the building for contemporary workplace needs. Sustainable & Efficient York & Co is framed as a sustainably designed workspace, with a 5-star NABERS rating. The project integrates environmental comfort standards with heritage sensitivity, making it both green and graceful. * * * Summary Table Feature Highlight Heritage Integration Original timber framing and high ceiling preserved Façade Design Terracotta-colored UHPC slats adding texture and visual warmth Building Size ~8,500 sqm over 11 office levels Key Amenities Rooftop terrace, café, end-of-trip facilities Sustainability 5-star NABERS rating, efficient adaptive reuse * * * Final Takeaway SJB Architects’ renovation of 32–36 York Street is more than a facelift—it’s a sophisticated marriage of heritage and innovation.
