Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney, with 54 floors of office space, has been one of the most awarded office buildings and skyscrapers in the world since it opened early last year. The MIPIM 2023 award for the Best Office and Business Project is just the latest in a series of awards that the Danish architectural studio 3XN and investor AMP Capital received for their innovative approach to the complete renovation and extension of the AMP Center, a business tower from 1976 that no longer met today's requirements.

Instead of demolishing the building, as was usually the case in the past, it was decided to integrate large parts of the existing supporting structure into a new high-rise building. The 206 meters-tall Quay Quarter Tower proves that architectural transformation is possible at a large scale.

In this way, two-thirds of the beams, columns, floor slabs, and almost the entire core built in the 1970s could be retained. These central aspects of the radical sustainability concept contributed save nearly 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide compared to complete demolition and conventional new construction tons.
