ivid Architects were appointed by Rabie Property Group as the lead Urban Designers
for the new Bridgeway Precinct in Century City. The site occupies a strategic position,
and is a ‘gateway’ site on the corner of Ratanga Road and Century Boulevard.

ARCHITECT’S REPORT
The need to create legible street edge was the starting point for the urban response, with
permeability and scale as important factors. The aesthetic design used real materials and
human proportions, aiming to instill an architecture of quality and longevity for the future
designs of the precinct. These factors, along with the brief for an efficient commercial office
building, informed an appropriate design of built form.
