Tower Expression - A campus of buildings

The tower composition acknowledges a hierarchy of forms that co-exist on the site and have evolved from a deliberate articulation of the single floorplate to de-materialise the large-scale perception of the building mass, whilst maintaining a legitimate whole of floor workplace outcome. A variation in setbacks, façade strategies and skyline stepping have been employed to ensure maximum success.

A primary vertical notch on each elevation curates this hierarchy and reinforces the social interactivity between floors of the workplace community. The legibility of this interactivity will be synonymous with the brand of 480 Swan Street and will create opportunities for connection from inside to out, suiting individual tenants.

Similarly, each break and step in the building is considered as an outdoor connection. The holistic composition purposely defines this moment as a curated sequence of green rooms that drive the legibility of the de-materialised singular mass as well as enhancing the biophilic benefit of the workplace.

The transition deck between podium and tower will be a greened tenant occupied outdoor environment, creating a large communal rooftop environment.

Workplace PersonalityA building can significantly improve productivity andperformance, but the same factors that enhance thisimprovement can also hinder it. Acoustics, good lighting (natural and artificial), thermal comfort and ergonomics within the workplace have an essential role to play in staff performance and well-being.

Background noise can add to productivity for routinetasks but can be hugely distracting if research orwriting tasks need to be completed, hence theimportance for a variety of spaces to be offered toworkers which target a variety of physical and sensoryexperiences.

The above criteria in addition to the right selectionof materials for floors, walls and ceilings will improvethe performance of the building and therefore itsoccupants.
