The wholistic Mediterranean mountain sanctuary comprises accommodation, retail, wellness amenity and hospitality, balancing antiquity and modernity through a lavish masterplan that embraces the natural landscape. Forming a complex of recreational buildings, the plot offers panoramic views of the undulating Troodos mountains, with village aggregation informed by principles of community assembly. Woods Bagot Principal Nik Karalis says the wellness precinct was informed by the concept of the “modern relic”, celebrating antiquity while boasting the latest in world-class amenity. “This five-million-square-meter mountain community embraces the old to re-imagine the future and our place in a constantly changing landscape of epic scale,” says Karalis. “The final centrepiece, the main new village and spa building, is now settled, and the project will evolve graciously over the next centuries to establish itself overtime as a destination that has emerged out of sensitive contextual positioning, tradition and pathos.” 

In the city’s oldest suburb – characterised by corner pubs, flea markets and live music venues – the project team devised a considerate response to site, stitching together Fitzroy’s industrial past with its vibrant and eclectic future. Across its 125 rooms, the StandardX trades a larger floorplate for an intimate scale that is deeply enmeshed in the heart of the neighbourhood. Room footprints are offset by larger gathering spaces and common areas that celebrate the local context and support the neighbouring ecosystem of independent retailers. “The StandardX is for the experiential traveller that seeks to immerse themselves in the rhythm and pulse of place,” says Woods Bagot Principal Pete Miglis. 

Encased in a shield of Corten steel – a skin intended to weather and patina – the built form was designed to resemble the typology of Fitzroy’s prominent corner pubs: solid in nature with a singular materiality and punched windows. Its bold architectural form provides a visual beacon, drawing people from the surrounding high streets into its vibrant nucleus. “The building rapidly assumes a distinctly local patina that speaks to Fitzroy’s convergence of industrial heritage and contemporary artistic sensibility,” says project architect Robert Rosamilia. “It’s a building that’s entirely of its place.”

伍兹贝格设计的 Mosman 公立中学是对悉尼北岸现有学校的重要扩建。这座四层的多功能学习设施将学校的容量扩大到 1200 名学生。更新后的设施包括新教室、表演和健身室、图书馆、健身房，以及一个包括屋顶庭院的室外游乐区。

“我们的设计理念是将场地的历史遗产与自然景观相结合，并从学生的创造力中汲取灵感。“伍兹贝格全球教育与科学设计负责人 Georgia Singleton 表示,"砖块包裹的外形和色彩斑斓的窗户设计，既响应了 Mosman 地区的历史色调，又融入了当地的原住民文化。自然景观和鲜艳的色彩搭配，也将学校转变为一个充满欢乐的表演和学习场所。"

The versatile four-storey building on the Middle Harbour peninsula has a gross floor area of 8,800 square metres and lifts the school’s much needed student capacity. Featuring classrooms, studios, staffrooms, canteen, gym, and theatre, Global Leader of Education and Science at Woods Bagot Georgia Singleton says the design incorporates the site’s heritage and natural landscape, while drawing its inspiration from the creativity and vibrancy of the school’s students. The building’s brick “crust” comprises four different tones, referencing Mosman’s heritage shopping strip.

“The design for Mosman High School celebrates Indigenous heritage, merging brick-wrapped forms and colourful window pops that echo Mosman’s historic palette,” says Singleton. “Trees and vibrant accents transform the school into a joyful performance space, honouring both ancient and recent local culture. This architecture blends respect for Indigenous influences with Mosman’s heritage, creating a joyful learning environment focused on performance.”

塔斯马尼亚大学 Forestry Building 改造项目致力于将这栋历史建筑转变为一个现代化的教育和社区中心，同时与周围的景观和街区紧密相连。项目包括两座上世纪 20 年代列入文物保护名录的红砖仓库、一座上世纪 80 年代的旧仓库展厅和一座由 Morris-Nunn and Associates 于 1997 年设计的 22 米高的圆顶温室的全面升级。

”我们的目标是打造一个综合性校园，而不仅仅是一栋建筑。通过精心的总体规划，创造出多样化且功能丰富的空间，以满足大学多样化的需求。" 伍兹贝格全球董事合伙人 Bruno Mendes 表示，”这座建筑的设计灵活多变，其可拆卸的特性使得大学能够根据教学需求的变化，轻松调整内部布局。“

项目团队在尊重历史的同时，通过适应性再利用，保留了现场40%的现有建筑，成为材料和功能再利用的典范。这不仅保护了历史遗产，还减少了施工对环境的影响。项目预计2025年完工。

The site comprises two heritage-listed 1920s redbrick warehouses, a former 1980s warehouse showroom and a 22-metre dome-shaped conservatory designed by Morris-Nunn and Associates in 1997. The project team is reimagining the site as an inner-city hub for learning, research and collaboration through a highly connected campus that unifies the disparate built elements onsite with integrated landscape, through-block connections and publicly accessible thoroughfares.

“We strived to create a campus – not a building – through a masterplan that features a collection of diverse and rich interstitial spaces to meet the disparate needs of the university,” says Woods Bagot Director Bruno Mendes. “As a highly flexible structure, the building’s demountable design will enable the university to adapt the interior environment as the university’s pedagogical needs change.” Through adaptive reuse, the project team is retaining 40 percent of the existing architecture onsite, making it exemplary in its reuse and recycling of existing materials and features to not only retain history and heritage but reduce the environmental impacts of construction.

Synchro Yards 坐落于一座造船厂的历史遗址之上，致力于塑造一个充满现代感的社区和文化枢纽，同时巧妙地修复并再利用原有的造船厂建筑。这个地中海边的豪华社区将以海滩俱乐部、豪华酒店、多功能活动空间、精选餐厅和热闹的商业步行街等多多元配套，成为游艇码头的核心。社区规划了两座高端住宅楼，分别提供22套和25套住宅，每一套都能俯瞰到码头的迷人景致。

“我们很荣幸领导黑山港新区的设计。” 伍兹贝格合伙人 Julian Cross 表示，“设计灵感来源于这片海军遗产、Kotor 湾的壮丽风光，以及它作为世界顶级游艇港的地位。这里将成为一个充满活力、现代感的地方，与亚得里亚海的地理位置形成鲜明对比，铭记历史的同时，成为全球旅游的新热点。”

This future luxury waterfront community is set to be the centrepiece of the Mediterranean marina, complete with a beach club, luxury hotel, event space, restaurants and retail strip. The development will feature two luxury premises, with 22 and 25 residences respectively, with strategic views over the marina. Built on the site of the former synchro elevator and shipyard hanger, Synchro Yards will offer an “avant-garde” quarter for fostering community and culture, featuring the restoration of a former shipyard.

“Woods Bagot was privileged to lead the design for the new district for Porto Montenegro,” says Woods Bagot Principal and project leader Julian Cross. “At its heart is a new civic building formed from the adaptive reuse of the historic Synchro Lift, used to service ships during the site’s time as a naval port. “Our design was inspired by this naval heritage as well as its extraordinary setting on Kotor Bay and its current use as a home for some of the worlds most beautiful yachts. A dynamic and modern place that is distinct to its Adriatic location, it remembers its history but stands out as a new global destination”.

悉尼 Potts Point 区的 Metro Minerva，是一座1938年的装饰艺术风格建筑，也曾是这座城市充满活力的表演艺术地标，以其标志性的垂直线条和几何图案，展现出装饰艺术设计的魅力。

伍兹贝格正在进行的改造工程，将修复主礼堂并增添现代化设施，同时保留并强调其历史细节。新元素的加入，既尊重传统，又融入现代感，使这座建筑焕发新生，成为集精品酒店、咖啡馆、酒吧于一体的文化新地标。

伍兹贝格合伙人Tracey Wiles强调：“Minerva的改造，旨在让这座历史建筑成为悉尼未来的文化遗产。每个设计细节都与场地的历史紧密相连，展现出深刻的情感共鸣。”

Arguably the area’s most famous example of art deco architecture, the Metro Minerva was once one of Sydney’s most beloved and vibrant performance spaces. Built in 1938, the building features the vertical sweeping curves, stepped forms and linear motifs characteristic of art-deco design. Woods Bagot is reviving the building, restoring the main auditorium space and introducing a range of elevated amenity and cultural offerings. Existing heritage details are celebrated and restored, while new insertions use traditional materiality and deco scale with a contemporary interpretation.  

Woods Bagot Principal Tracey Wiles says the redevelopment will bring the dormant building into the 21st century, complete with an integrated boutique hotel, cafe, bar and basement venue. “The Minerva is an art deco icon – a historic performance space reimagined to exist as part of Sydney’s future heritage,” says Wiles. “Whether crafted or procured, every element was integrated with an empathetic lens on the historical lineage of the site.”
