Two 1970’s office towers in Brisbane’s city centre are getting a new lease of life, driven by environmental considerations. The buildings are being stitched together through innovative design by Fender Katsalidis architects. In 2021, this exceptional building will be complete offering a single address of 44,000 square meters NLA, A Grade office space, 5-star green star office space with average floors of 2000 square meters (up to 2600). This $175M investment provides tenants and users of the building with first class integrated amenities in this landmark building.
BSE’s team delivered electrical and mechanical design across all stages of the project from demolition advice to reduce waste and leverage re-use options, through detailed design right through to construction documentation and advice.
Extensive refurbishment to a base building structure requires a solution driven approach, from minimal penetrations to increased ceiling heights, BSE’s team provided innovative concepts and practical solutions. The result is significant increase in ceiling heights for tenants and users of the space, made possible by creative mechanical design and planning with the use of Kingspan ducts, low temp VAV and swirl diffusers.
