Special Activity - Tour of Kensington Street Precinct - WAIT LIST
2016-05-26 11:30 - 14:00 | Kensington Street Precinct, 1 Kensington Street, Chippendale, Sydney, NSW, 2008, Australia
On Thursday 26 May 2016 we will tour Sydney’s exciting new Kensington Street Precinct with Nicky Ginsberg, Creative Director; enjoy Lunch in Spice Alley; and ‘Meet the Concierge’ at The Old Clare Hotel.
Join Nicky Ginsberg on a tour of the transformed and adaptively revitalised Kensington Street precinct. Forming the eastern boundary of the $2 billion Central Park urban village on Broadway, Kensington Street has been reborn as Sydney’s latest laneway – a new home for restaurants, cafes, small bars, markets, artists, galleries, innovative retailers, and creative types, combining heritage architecture with bold contemporary ideas. Saving the terraces was critical, having become isolated by surrounding developments. Many original features, including joinery and staircases remain. Step inside and you’ll be transported to the early settler days of Sydney, when houses, rum stores and stables sat side by side. Other key heritage elements have been saved including the former Carlton and United Brewery offices and warehouses.
At the conclusion of the tour enjoy a special SWIC lunch in Spice Alley and then ‘Meet the Concierge’ at the Old Clare Hotel for a tour of Sydney’s newest boutique hotel. In creating the new ’Old Clare’, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects wanted to tap into Sydney’s history by combing a Victorian brewery headquarters with an Art Deco hotel to form the Old Clare Hotel.
