A rejuvenated facade increases openings on the North and Eastern aspects, providing tenants with enhanced natural light, increased views and connection to the historic surrounds.
The concept re-imagines the building’s history with the podium reinstated to its original datum, and the existing structural 'c-shape' slab edge showcased subtly through a new continuous glazed curtain wall system.
A mixture of intricately detailed clear and reverse-gradient-frit glass fins enables uninterrupted views from within the floor plates while accentuating verticality and the illusion of tower solidity along the streetscape.
Combining this unique fin treatment with a fine grain terracotta finish sympathetically ties the new envelope to its heritage context of the building, while creating a unique identity for the building.
