Once a symbol of Sydney’s brutalist backbone, SIRIUS has been reimagined by BVN Architecture into a modern landmark that bridges the past and present. What was once raw and utilitarian now stands as a statement of architectural restraint - a dialogue between heritage grit, harbour light, and contemporary refinement.
BetterTiles’ Hill Grey Granite plays a quiet but powerful role in this transformation. Specified across the outdoor areas, it anchors the space in durability and timelessness, complementing BVN’s considered material palette. Its fine texture and tonal depth bring warmth to the building’s structured geometry - a natural counterpoint to concrete and glass.
In projects like SIRIUS, outdoor surfaces aren’t just finishes, they’re part of the narrative. Each step, each transition between inside and out, is crafted with precision. Our Hill Grey Granite was selected for its strength, consistency, and performance, but also for the way it holds its own against Sydney’s ever-changing light and coastal conditions.
This is more than a restoration - it’s a reawakening. A building that once divided opinion now unites history and modernity in one bold silhouette. SIRIUS is proof that design can honour the past while creating space for what’s next, and BetterTiles is proud to have been part of its evolution.
