The AAA’s second exclusive building tour is of 77 King Street that has been given a new façade and refurbished floors. Burley Katon Halliday reworked this aging 70s commercial building together with Built. On the top of the 23 level building is a double height floor, opening onto spacious balconies overlooking the city.

David Katon, one of Sydney’s leading designers will lead this one off tour of the soon to be completed building and will explain the inspiration for the multi-faceted façade, how the floor plate was extended around the perimeter and give an insight into the unusual restroom finishes.
