Three tiers for charred timber in Barangaroo
Situated in the heart of Barangaroo, the dynamic commercial and residential urban renewal development on the edge of Sydney Harbour, Barangaroo House opened in December 2017 and is the latest venture by one of Australia’s most celebrated chefs, Matt Moran. The Barangaroo project has sustainabil-
ity at its heart. With a commitment to becoming the first carbon neutral global precinct, the 22-hectare historic harbour- side site is targeted to create zero waste emissions, as well as being “water wise” and contributing to the overall well-being of the community. According to the project team, it “celebrates design excel- lence, natural beauty, world-class eco- living and aboriginal history, to preserve the project for future generations”. Inspired by the potential of creating
a ‘building in the round’, the unique split level restaurant was designed by architects Collins and Turner, taking on a remarkable organic form clad in charred Accoya modified timber. Supplied by timber experts, Britton Timbers, 45 mm Accoya strips were laminated into a series of predetermined radii with a ‘Shou Sugi Ban’ (medium char) finish applied to create a striking charcoal appearance. The material was chosen due to its stability and durability, the project being located on a prominent water front site. To further enhance the project, a layer
of “Anthractite” a WOCA coating from Denmark was applied to complement the overall design aesthetic. Huw Turner, director of Collins and
Turner, said: “Utilising Shou Sugi Ban was an ideal way to create a unique, striking building form which references ancient craftsmanship and traditions in a very contemporary way.” Accoya is showcased elsewhere at

Bangaroo – the R7 Tower, a landmark building in the development, used the cladding to create decorative external boxes on the facades. It was also the material of choice for outdoor seating within the heart of the Barangaroo
“oasis”. Aesthetically pleasing but also highly durable and rot resistant thanks to the material’s acetylation process, the benches sit well in their surroundings while being capable of withstanding the often extreme Sydney climate.
