“ITS A SOLID WITH HOLES IN IT.”
A very demanding brief from the client combined with stringent requirments from the Office for Design and Architecture, SA, meant that collaberative design approach was needed and highly valued to achieve the outcomes required by all stakeholders.
Various options were developed to identify the best solution to the clients problems. The final designs featured a 20 storey building with retail arcade at ground level with communal student facilities on first and second floors and 17 levels of student accommodation above.
Facade materiality was engineered with early builder and pre cast manufacturers involvement.
The clients brief was redefined by the standards achieved by the design.
Full consultant team input at the earlier stages resulted in a building at DA with greater services and structural resolution.
