City of Sydney Council commissioned OCP Architects to design, document and oversee construction of the restoration works to this iconic late Victorian building in Paddington. Designed by John Edward Kemp and constructed in 1890 – 1891, it is an outstanding example of town hall architecture in Sydney. The scope included restoration of the ornate façade, slate and corrugated iron roof and upgrade of the rooftop air-conditioning plant, platforms and walkways.
