The project features a series of open spaces, including 3,400 square metres of accessible roof terrace and courtyards, a public art garden and a civic plaza, as well as improved universal walkways. The landscape was designed by McGregor Coxall and US landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson, who also redesigned the forecourt of the original building that now features two black granite reflecting pools, as well as seating and shading opportunities. More than 8000 square metres of green roof has been planted with 50,000 Australian natives species and 70 percent more trees, which will increase the biodiversity of the site.YDNEY MODERN, Domain Sydney
