Bishops See

Bishop’s See South is the first stage of a two-part commercial development, delivering 18,000m² of net lettable area while laying the groundwork for a future tower to the north. The site is part of a historic precinct framed by St Georges Terrace and the Bishop’s See heritage gardens, with key constraints including preserving through-site pedestrian links and visual connections to the gardens.

The design draws inspiration from temple architecture — a strong, grounded podium anchors the site, with a more transparent, expressive structure rising above. The sloping site allows the stone-clad podium to sit into the landscape, referencing the limestone walls of the nearby gardens. Within this base are carparking, loading docks, and high-quality end-of-trip facilities. Above, the building opens to the gardens and river views with a frameless glazed ground floor and flexible office spaces.

Nine levels of commercial offices sit atop the podium, arranged as two wings connected by shared cores. An expressed concrete structure wraps the building and extends above the roof in a series of trusses, while aluminium sunshades and stainless steel frames offer protection from low-angle sun. A screened rooftop plant area glows softly at night, and the building has been awarded a 5 Star Green Star rating for its commitment to environmental performance and workplace wellbeing.
