At the same time, the project incorporates high-quality rental apartments into a building previously used exclusively for commercial purposes, leading to social and environmental benefits achieved by leaving the core of the structure intact and adding bold new articulated facades.

Through clever design the building appears to subtly transform as one moves around it, revealing a depth of facade through striking cobalt-blue folds. The ‘fanned’ bays, along with the infill of the existing walkways, considerably increase the lettable area and the light levels within a new set of highly flexible and efficient office floor plates. The ground-level retail, café, and lobby spaces create a relationship between the streetscape and neighbouring buildings.

This is an exciting opportunity to find out more about this redevelopment from the people behind the project. Refreshments will be provided, along with the chance to network with BCO members after the tour.
