COCKLE BAY WHARF COMPETITION WINNERS
In collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects, Geoffreything Studio wins International Design Competition to design Cockle Bay Park - Tower and Retail Podium on Sydney’s iconic waterfront in Darling Harbour. The new tower will include a 63,000-square-metre program atop a 14,000-square-metre retail podium, with traditional retail units, offices, and public program.

The 73,000-square-metre project is designed for the redevelopment of Cockle Bay Park in central Sydney and rests at the heart of Sydney and is co-led by Australian real estate company The GPT Group and a global investment manager AMP Capital.
Geoffreything.Studio is providing Retail and Mixed Use Strategy Planning and Design consultancy and is partnering with international Danish architectural firm Henning Larsen and landscape architects McGregor Coxall, in the concept design stage.
The winning scheme by team Henning Larsen, Geoffreything.Studio and McGregor Coxall - was chosen from six shortlisted designs by UN Studio, Cox Architecture, Woods Bagot, Grimshaw, FJMT, and Wilkinson Eyre.
