The improbably narrow Pencil Tower Hotel, pencilled in to be built at 410 Pitt Street in Sydney s business district, measures 328ft high (100m) but is just 16.4ft (5m) wide.
The final piece surrounding the Alumni Green, UTS Building 7 houses a number of spaces, with Durbach Block Jaggers crafting a lightweight and colourful facade that preserves the sunlight on the green.

Blessed with the beauty of Sydney Harbour and a private beach hidden away on the doorstep of the CBD, House Taurus isn’t your atypical domicile. Stuck between city buildings and resembling a concrete monolith, Durbach Block Jaggers have devised something that is a brutalistic oasis amongst the metropolis.
Constructing the house effectively around a range of obstacles including an apartment building to the north that blocks the sun and a taller building to the east that overlooks the rear of the site, Durbach Block Jaggers have created a place that connects to the beach via beautiful landscaping, fig trees and jetties. The arc of the beach is centred on the site, with the main living space placed directly on the beach, sitting on a sculpted, landscaped stone base and connected to the water by landscaped stairs.
