The building is designed to capitalise on the unique location of the new Kawana Business Village. It presents a strong, contemporary sub-tropical character with clean modern lines, deep, finely-designed sun shading and high quality materials and finishes. The building is a prominent landmark at the gateway to the business village.
The design was developed with the needs of today’s business tenant in mind. All floor plates, with externally located air handling plant rooms, enjoy generous full perimeter glazing protected by external sunshades, which take advantage of the surrounding views and abundant natural light.
A distinctive feature of the building’s design is the deep folded roof, which is carried over the building from the southern wall with extra wide overhangs to the top floor to the east, north and west. All external walls and roof areas are insulated. Direct exposure to east and west sun is minimised to avoid thermal mass heat radiation. This reduces air conditioning costs significantly.
