The Marker

The project was designed around a simple program - an observation tower for Blacktown International Sportspark. Its purpose however, was to define a new iconic entry into Blacktown and to establish the Western Suburbs as the new heart of Sydney.

The form takes inspiration from Utzon’s Opera House, drawing upon indigenous Aboriginal imagery of the spearhead and the coolamon in order to create a distinct and memorable architectural monument.

  The "Marker" functions as an observatory tower, allowing for the users of the sports park to watch sporting games and to look out over Eastern Creek and the Morreau Reserve.
