Sydney’s new design and arts precinct, Waterloo, is emerging as the city’s new, alternative cultural heart. The arts complex, 2 Danks Street, alone has ten contemporary galleries along with the highly regarded café and cocktail bar, Danks Street Depot while directly across the road is the successful food store by Sydney restaurant provedore, Fratelli Fresh.
Situated just around the corner, pyd (the name derives from the streets that bound it: Phillip, Young, Danks) has become the new destination for design and good living within this tight block of retail activity.
Architects, Mac-Interactive, have taken a large factory / warehouse on the corner of Phillip and Young Streets, Waterloo and designed a series of flexible retail spaces with soaring ceilings and lots of natural light, natural timbers and steel to embrace the building's industrial past.
The building brings together, within one purpose-built space, a collection of the best design showrooms, along with a café and an active exhibition space that hosts events, talks, and local and international design exhibitions, installations, workshops and satellite events.
The pyd mix focuses on design objects and interior products for the home, counterbalanced with pure cultural content to enhance the pyd experience and promote the Waterloo precinct
