Melbourne Airport is one of the world’s fastest growing airports and is one of Melbourne’s largest employment hubs. As the aerotropolis emerges as an economic engine room of the 21st century, the demand for commercial offices, mixed use retail, healthcare sports, entertainment and education continues to increase.
Building 64 North is a co-working facility located within an existing hanger shed adjacent to the main runway, providing over 3000 square metres of working, meeting, and socializing spaces. The building is occupied by internal staff and external consultants.
This adaptive reuse project reflects our collective belief that it is our environmental responsibility to reuse, rather than discard and Kosloff Architecture has embraced this as a key conceptual framework driver for the design proposition. The ‘aesthetic’ of the shed has been celebrated and seamlessly integrated into state-of-the-art technology and performance.
The existing shed was uninsulated and therefore achieving Section J thermal compliance (Australian Construction Code) required clever and thoughtful architectural detailing. In response, we created a new internal thermal perimeter wall to ensure comfortable and useable internal spaces.
Avoiding condensation upon completion was a key challenge. The existing roof was fairly agricultural and had to be insulated in a manner that dealt with temperature differentials. A new skylight was also installed permeating the space with natural light. Natural ventilation via operable façade louvres and a heat release roof ventilation system is used as much as possible and complemented with significant interior landscape to enhance a connection to the natural environment.
The project was a significant undertaking, particularly given the complex nature of the airport live environment and strict security and access requirements.
