LEVEL 16 PLAN Sustainability A Green Star rating was not attempted due to the additional cost that would have resulted, but where sustainable design could be achieved without additional costs it was implemented. LEVEL 15 PLAN Garden Spaces A concrete band steps from the reception through the building forming external landscaped spaces for residents with bridges crossing through those space providing ventilation and light in to the common circulation spaces. At night the concrete band is clearly lit with LED strip lighting. The adjoining park was shaped to provide safety and privacy to the building and not to impact the park’s usage and circulation ability. LEVEL 14 PLAN LEVEL 5 PLAN Park Central 51
