In a milestone for the Crown Sydney development, the already iconic Crown Residences at One Barangaroo has officially ‘topped out’ ahead of schedule – marking completion of its 275-metre vertical construction.

Designed by globally-renowned architects WilkinsonEyre, this is another impressive and on-time development for the project – that will this December see the planned opening of a 349-room hotel, 14 restaurants and bars and selected retail.

Crown Residences, located in the upper levels, are also on schedule for homeowners to move into the building in the first half of 2021.

While topping out normally means a large celebration, things were a little more subdued given Covid-19 restrictions – the milestone marked by a site visit from NSW Treasurer, Dominic Perrottet, alongside Crown Resorts Chair, Helen Coonan, Crown executives Ken Barton and Todd Nisbet and Group CEO of Lendlease, Steve McCann.

“Today marks a special moment in Crown’s history, which hopefully can also be a part of a new, positive outlook for Sydney after months of unprecedented challenges for many in our community,” offered Coonan. “This building was designed to be a tribute to Sydney and a landmark recognised around the world.”

To date, 237,888 tonnes of concrete and approximately 20,000 tonnes of steel reinforcements have been fitted to the structure. To finalise the build, more than 1,300 workers will continue to work on the interior fit-out of across the remainder of the year.

Going warm and fuzzy for the 2024 Pantone Colour of the Year

Prepare yourself for the year of the peach

Pantone has released its 2024 Colour of the Year — and it’s warm and fuzzy.

Peach Fuzz has been named as the colour to sum up the year ahead, chosen to imbue a sense of “kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration” said vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, Laurie Pressman.

“A warm and cosy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness,” she said.

Pantone Colour of the Year is often a reflection of world mood and events

The choice of a soft pastel will come as little surprise to those who follow the Pantone releases, which are often a reflection of world affairs and community mood. Typically, when economies are buoyant and international security is assured, colours tend to the bolder spectrum. Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Gaza conflict and talk of recession in many countries, the choice of a softer, more reassuring colour is predictable. 

“At a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future,” she said. “We are reminded that a vital part of living a full life is having the good health, stamina, and strength to enjoy it.”

The colour also reflects a desire to turn inward and exercise self care in an increasingly frenetic world.

“As we navigate the present and build toward a new world, we are reevaluating what is important,” she said. “Reframing how we want to live, we are expressing ourselves with greater intentionality and consideration. 

“Recalibrating our priorities to align with our internal values, we are focusing on health and wellbeing, both mental and physical, and cherishing what’s special — the warmth and comfort of spending time with friends and family, or simply taking a moment of time to ourselves.”

Each year since 2000, Pantone has released a colour of the year as a trendsetting tool for marketers and branding agents. It is widely taken up in the fashion and interior design industries, influencing collections across the spectrum.
