The classical orders

Five of our rooms carry the names of the five classical orders of architecture — a quiet nod to the building's classical soul inside its brutalist shell.

A quick word on “brutalist” — it comes from béton brut, French for raw concrete, not “brutal”. It's the confident, sculptural architecture of the 1960s–70s: bold geometry, honest materials, and rooms with real presence. Ours is considered one of Sydney's finest examples.
