Located in Circular Quay at the gateway to Sydney's CBD, 33 Alfred Street (also known as AMP Building) has been a prominent feature on the Sydney skyline for 60 years and remains the home and headquarters of AMP to this day. Opened in 1962 by the Prime Minister at the time, Sir Robert Menzies, the AMP 'Sydney Cove' Building, designed by Peddle Thorp & Walker (now PTW Architects), was Sydney's first to break the city's 150-foot (46-metre) height limit, imposed from 1912. At 117 metres, it was Australia's tallest building, almost double the height of anything else in Sydney at the time. 33 Alfred St's post-war International style was unlike anything Sydney had seen before. The twin crescent towers soared 26 storeys, linked centrally into an H-shape and set free from their podium. An observation deck on the top floor was open to the public, offering Sydneysiders and international travellers views of the city and harbour from a never-before-seen angle. Aluminium and glass curtain walling was used to capture magnificent harbour and district views. It was also one of the first buildings to use seawater air conditioning, requiring an on-site 'frogman' to maintain its water-intake pump house.
