Marrick & Co reimagines urban life in a way that is authentically Marrickville, harnessing the suburb’s deep-rooted values and heritage assets to deliver density unprecedented in its community, history, sustainability and locality. On the site of the former Marrickville Hospital, the project incorporates compatible adaptive reuse of heritage structures and a whole-of-life sustainability framework, making it the first One Planet Living Community in NSW. The connectivity and openness of the ground plane harmoniously integrates two new residential buildings with restored heritage fabric (including Lilydale House), public green spaces and the new landmark Council library and pavilion.
