The Gateway is a mixed use building which compromize over 120 units and shops at street level. On the lower level underneath the building is located a Ligth Rail Staition which networks Star Sydney Casino and Sydney City.
This building design is the first one I did in Australia for HPA Mirvac Group under the late Henry Polack supervision. The building is positioned on the perimeter of Pirrama Road like in a "U" shape and on the centre of the building is located a patio type space with hevy landscape to minimize sound impact because there is a pedestrian walk way which connects the upper level of Pyrmont and Pirrama Road just oposite of Sydney Maritime Museum. One of the predominant architectural characteristic of the building is the use of roller shutters in the balconies to soften the sun light through the living areas.
