ARCHITECTURE
The hard-landscaped plaza elevates the buildings civic status to create a recognisably distinct sense of place which, in conjunction with the adjacent residential block, created a strong sense of local identity.
The building’s architecture responds to contrasting environments of its immediate context, using a dynamic series of folding and intersecting plains. The elevations provide a considered composition of zinc, glass and coloured rendered panels to provide the transition in scale.
