Machine Hall, Sydney. ⚡
A century-old former substation transformed into one of Sydney's most unique cultural and event destinations.
At the heart of the space sits Arden's striking white steel and glass helical staircase, seamlessly integrated into the building's raw industrial character. Delivered using our modular installation methodology, the factory-fabricated sections were site welded to create a continuous sculptural form that appears to float within the historic structure.
The crisp white finish creates a bold contrast against the existing grungy palette, adding a layer of elegance and movement to this remarkable venue.
A fantastic collaboration with Built, FJC Studio and TTW, helping bring new life to an iconic Sydney landmark.
