office floor . By extending the wing-shaped façade screens beyond the roof level with parapet sloping , the appearance of soaring shards is created opposed to an abrupt utilitarian termination .
In terms of materiality , a glazed façade was selected due to its flush and sculpted reflective form which is able to conceal both the parking levels and solid spandrels . Not only does glass facilitate an exciting play of light but it also allows for an expressive articulation of the building mass in the screen and shard-like elements . The introduction of pixilation on the portions fronting the parking levels , ceiling voids , structure and internal desk height upstands allows the building to conceal both the parking levels and avoid overbearing horizontal bands .
Arrival The entire length of the street frontage along Lower Long Street and Jetty Street is enlivened with new ground-floor retail and multiple entry points into the office building . At street level , a double-volume entrance connects to shuttle lifts connecting all parking levels and the ground floor to a spectacular arrival experience within the 10th-floor sky lobby . Thereafter , individuals are transported via a double-volume area and terrace to the office lifts which connects to all the floors above . This ensures mid-building activation and an experience for all users to enjoy as part of the arrival journey into the workspaces - encouraging interaction between different tenants .
