- Sirius_building abstract "The Sirius building is an apartment complex in The Rocks district of Sydney, Australia. The residential development was designed between 1978 and 1979 by architect Tao Gofers. The building is a prominent example of brutalist architecture in Australia, and its striking repetitive geometries a reaction to the metabolist architecture movement. The complex was built to rehouse public tenants who had been displaced after a controversial redevelopment of the historic Rocks suburb during the 1960s and 70s.It is notable for being the only high rise development in The Rocks. Sirius houses 79 apartments with generally one, two, three or four bedrooms with single story apartments to two and three storey walk ups. The original plan was to finish the building in a white colour to match the Sydney Opera House located close by. However, due to budget constraints, the building was finished in the standard Brutalist grey.The Sirius building houses many of the original Rocks residents who fought for their right to remain in The Rocks in the famous Green bans. The purpose of the Green Bans was to retain the working class community in The Rocks, not retain heritage buildings. Ironically many of the buildings remain, but the majority of the residents were moved into the Sirius apartments in the so-called 'people's plan'. The terraces and town houses they used to call home are owned by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, and are occupied by various tenants who pay rent to SHFA.Unit 74 of the Sirius building has become somewhat of an unofficial Sydney landmark; a sign displaying ‘One Way! Jesus’ clearly visible to Harbour Bridge commuters. The sign has been in place for the last 15 years, however the owner of the sign and their motivations to spread a Christian message remain unknown.".
