The four storey development includes 4,500m² “A Grade” office space as well as a communal balcony and under cover parking.
Located on a challenging site involving below ground “transfer rafts” resting on screw piles, this project was designed to distribute load away from a minister sewer which ran directly below the building footprint.
Coloured exposed aggregate feature panels were incorporated into the façade system, combined with Alucobond and clad stone elements.
Sustainability was also a key consideration in this project, which achieved a 4.5 Star Green Star, “as designed” rating.
