Sky Jetty is an addition to the Morning Bay YHA on Garigal Land in Pittwater, north of Sydney. Inspired by the flows and vectors observed in the landscape, from the patternation of jetties extending out into Pittwater’s bays, to the Aboriginal tracks delineated by Currajong trees, to the movement of boats, Sky Jetty creates a new form of connection with landscape, a connection to the tree canopy and to the sky.
Housing a new staff accommodation, reception and service facilities, the building mediates a new entry sequence to the hostel that better allows for privacy.
