The project involved the replacement of two existing buildings located on the corner of City Road and Featherstone Street with a new high-quality office building incorporating ground floor retail space and affordable workshops.
The building massing steps down from an 11-storey tower fronting City Road, in response to the adjacent lower buildings on Featherstone Street. Generous floor to ceiling heights and fully openable windows are intended to make the building as flexible as possible.
“We are focused on ‘long-life loose-fit’ adaptable spaces and wellness factors that can enable people to meet together in larger common areas, with higher ceilings and better air quality and ventilation.”
