Large planters with mounded earth and trees create physical barriers from the hardened surfaces of the podium parking area . The sculptural bridge link running between the central services building and the new building offers some shade and at night the bridge lighting casts graphic shadows across the space below .
The shaped white fins on black glass were continued onto the elongated façade of this southern block . The revised design of the podium entrance corner now meant that the organic shapes created by the white blades had to run around the perimeter façade on four sides of the building . There was no longer a front and back to the structure ,
there was just a blended façade that had to encompass all orientations .
The acute approach to the site from the north and south created the architectural interaction with the public which the concept design had sought . The building was no longer black glass with white blades , it was white blades with black sculptured voids . The building had an infinite number of sides to view the structure from , not just four .
The prominent corner site also meant the Rewardsco signage had to be integrated into the façade at a suitable position , so the splayed corner with a more elevated position lended itself perfectly to the design .
