A staggered, abstract arrangement of glass and coloured panels present a playful facade of intrigue and delight. The upper tenancy levels exceed planning guidelines to provide the maximum lettable area, made feasible with the recessed lower level that therefore provides articulation and enables the bulk of the building to float.
The top level roof deck introduces valuable outdoor space, satisfying the requirements of the new Child Care Centre located on Level 3 of the development. It also provides a unique capacity to signify the special social function that this building provides.
