The building has been designed to accommodate many and varied activities. It incorporates a highly flexible plan with two lineal arrangements of spaces hinged either side of a breezeway / gallery space. This breezeway is the primary circulation space for the building and runs North East / South West – channelling cooling summer breezes into the various office and function spaces. The space terminates at a covered deck and lush garden and water feature – an area that will be used for informal meetings and function receptions.
95% of the building’s timber structure – both concealed softwood and expressed hardwood was recycled. To minimise the need for steel in the building, the large internal volumes and spans apparent in the hall where achieved through a series softwood trusses and purlins. The horizontal bottom cord to the truss also allows for the custom retractable walls.
The future water feature above the in-ground water tank adjacent to the covered deck and the proposed wind sculptures to the breezeway, the visual accessibility of the photovoltaic array and associated publicly accessible digital display and the simple process of rainwater collection, storage and re-use, and the wind sock are all features of the building which have been positioned to enable the public a better understanding of natural systems and the way in which our buildings can (and should) interact with them.
