This project offers a rare opportunity to revitalise a long-overlooked pocket at the edge of the city. More than just a building, it’s a people powered, mixed-use hub designed to foster community connection and local enterprise.
A bold and welcoming statement, this development celebrates its prominent corner site with a distinctive ‘building in the round’ design. The podium appears to float above the ground plane, creating a generous and inviting arrival experience that draws people naturally into the heart of the building at street level.
Tower floorplates are designed with an offset, side-core configuration that maximises natural light and frames expansive views of the city skyline, enhancing the quality of open-plan workspaces. And part of its 5 Star Green Star rating, the building features a high-performance facade system with integrated shading fins, supporting both sustainability and occupant comfort.
Community-focussed amenities at ground level include co-working spaces to support emerging businesses, conferencing facilities, a café, childcare centre and a work club providing convenience and connection for tenants and visitors alike.
A naturally focussed material palette is guided by the site’s vegetated parkland setting and outlook through and over trees to the city. Off-form concrete has been used at the podium level to reflect the organic textures and tonal variation of the environment, offering a sense of granularity, plasticity and natural variation.
Positioned at the gateway to the precinct, this development establishes a strong yet sensitive entry statement that anchors the site and balances the scale of development occurring north of Great Eastern Highway. Thoughtfully scaled and sensitively designed, the project enhances its neighbourhood while capturing sweeping views of the river and city skyline.
