Deltic House

Designed by architects Piercy & Company, Deltic House is the residential component of the mixed-use R8 development in the heart of Kings Cross Central by developers Argent.
Located next to its office sister, the Jellicoe, this eleven-storey building delivers 72 affordable apartments located above a shared podium garden and retail units at street level.

The building façade on Harrier Street is animated by a striking play of inward curving, thermally broken precast concrete balconies manufactured by sub-contractor Techrete.

The remaining façades comprise straight projecting balconies, also by [Techrete], combined with inset loggia, Rieder GRC rainscreen cladding with vertical panels and projecting horizontal string coursing punctuated by storey-height aluminium glazing by NACWL.

FMDC were involved in the project from early design stages through to construction. Deltic House was completed in 2025 and the building is one of several successful collaborations between FMDC and architects Piercy & Company.
