After sitting unused for decades, today Sub Station No. 164 and Machine Hall are a striking example of Sydney’s ambitious approach to revitalising historic architecture.

This transformative project married two adjacent heritage buildings on Clarence Street– a 1909 wine and spirit warehouse and a 1930 substation – into one of the city’s most dynamic sustainable office developments.

Original elements like the brickwork, warehouse floors, windows and even the early hydraulic lift have been retained. A notable feature of the redesign is the reimagined ‘Machine Hall’ with its impressive 12-metre-high ceilings, now repurposed as an event space.

The project’s design, by fjcstudio, introduces a delicate balance of suspension and contrast, with a lightweight glass extension that seems to float above the robust brick foundations, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.

When 50 Martin Place first opened in 1928 as head office for the Government Savings Bank of NSW, it was the city’s tallest, most expensive building, and boasted the world’s largest banking chamber.

It has since been transformed by JPW architects for Macquarie Group. In 2015, the banking chamber’s intricate Neoclassical detailing, including marble and scagliola (stylised plaster) columns were restored.

Above, a new steel-framed glass-leaved atrium was installed, filling the space with light and drama. The stunning dome was designed as a fifth facade to be seen from neighbouring buildings as a shimmering lantern.

50 Martin Place is a building of high cultural, social and economic significance for Sydney, and the refurbishment broadens its significance by establishing a new benchmark for sustainable design through building reuse.
