Collaborative partners Woods Bagot, Hecker Phelan & Guthrie and Merivale for Ivy
Jury Citation
Designed from the inside out, Ivy is a statement with staggering detail and decoration. It represents the ultimate of its type. Hecker Phelan & Guthrie and Woods Bagot have created a lavish playground, a world within a world of glamour and "Palm Springs" nostalgia. Ivy is now a Sydney centrepiece for run and partying in the thick of the city. The jury applauded the humour, energy and consistency of concept on such a massive scale.
