We upcycled an entire skyscraper in Sydney, retaining 98% of its core and 65% of its original structure while doubling its capacity – AMA!

My title is Fred Holt, I’m an architect and accomplice at 3XN. As a part of a coalition of architects, engineers, constructing contractors, and builders, we upcycled the enduring Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney. By proving that retrofitting high-rise towers can reduce waste and carbon, we’ve been chosen as Finalists for Prince William’s The Earthshot Prize Awards. Ask Me Something!
