Overview
The new building spans five levels and provides approximately 3,300 square metres of commercial office space. The podium and ground levels comprise a fitness and childcare centre and a range of retail and food stores, with extensive office space above.
Designed by high-profile architects Baldasso-Cortese, the new building is positioned on the northern podium and boasts a contemporary, highly-sustainable design. Innovative construction methods include the use of lightweight materials such as a structural steel grid and Cross Laminated Timber. ESD features include a new rainwater tank installed in an existing plantroom to allow for rainwater harvesting technology.
This collaborative project saw significant savings achieved in façade design, and services and finishes, resulting in a reduction of roughly 10% of the original project cost estimate, and considerable time saved in construction.
