An innovative response to key views and to the provision of a flexible and efficient floor plate.

Architecture

Parramatta, NSW

A simple geometric form generated from a pure eclipse which, by its very shape simultaneously allows a widening towards the north views, and a contraction to the south where the core needs to be the most efficient.

There are essentially two facades. The east, west and south are one continuous curved skin and its discretely treated with solar controlled frit patterns which subtly change and merge in response to the activities within. The north façade responds to the northerly sun angles to provide passive shading. The main building entry is recessed to form a generous pocket park on the northern side, promoting activation by retail spaces, including a café restaurant.

The floor plates are generally square in plan, with subtle curves to describe the overall form. The southern core space is highly efficient, mainly through the use of a single all-floor lift bank which, compared with a traditional low/high rise arrangement, reduces the number of elevators by three.
