The Sirius Building was originally designed in the 1970s and built in the 1980s for social housing. The building has now been redeveloped featuring high-end apartments.
 
Parts of the concrete, structure due to its proximity from Sydney Harbour, is now protected with ProctorPassive Wraptite SA (self-adhesive) protecting the structure from water ingress but allowing for vapour permeability.
 
The facade consisting of two layers, a CSR Barestone skin and a vertical aluminium blades to create a striking architectural screen. This was achieved using the Nvelope NV1 face fixed system and the Nvelope NH3 to mount the aluminium blades.

About Nvelope NV1

NV1 is the NVELOPE subframe system for vertical cladding applications. NVELOPE ‘T’ and ‘L’ profiles are fixed using NVELOPE support brackets, fixed through a series of fixed and sliding points. NVELOPE flexible point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction. NVELOPE fixed point brackets absorb the vertical dead loads. NVELOPE bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the façade cladding, local wind loads and cladding zone.

About Nvelope NH3

NVELOPE® NH3 is the system used to support vertical elements, allowing for varied façade design options.

The system has a number of advantages over the NH2 system, making it faster and easier to install. It is also supported by the SFS range of fasteners.

Specifically designed to speed up and simplify the installation process
