This refurbishment project was undertaken for the DEXUS Property Group, one of Australia’s leading property owners, managers and developers in the commercial, industrial and retail sectors. The brief was to upgrade the existing warehouse and office facilities, open the heart of the space to include an Atrium and re-design the facade to create something more dynamic and corporate. The warehouse was converted to open plan commercial offices with 4 metre high ceilings and because of the depth of the space, the inclusion of the Atriumallowed natural daylighting in to the offices. The Atrium was designed as a connecting space between the 4 tenancies and is a communal space for building tenants. It is furnished with timber seating and planters to create an area for quiet contemplation or somewhere to eat your lunch. In line with current Australian Standards, the refurbishment included upgrading of the amenities to the building to comply with DDA requirements. The main design feature of the facade is the detailed structural steel frame with coloured architectural blades arranged in a specified pattern in order to break up the length of the facade.
