Historical Elements The site has a long history with both the HHO building and the Felderman building having a Grade IIIB Heritage status . These two historic buildings informed the starting point of the design process and forms a fundamental and integral part of the overall design .
The character of Bree Street has tremendous importance in terms of urban design , and the team wanted to respect that unique character and respond accordingly . The architectural language of 16onBree at street level was specifically developed to enhance the character of lower Bree Street to be more in line with the urban landscape currently experienced along the upper end of Bree Street .
Along Prestwich Street there is a double volume colonnade designated for pedestrians only , which will in future connect with the anticipated Vogue development . On Mechau Street the Felderman building has a heritage grading and historical significance , the building façade has been kept as-is , therefore activity along Mechau Street will be limited , however activity will be maximised where possible .
Brief The brief called for a development which fully utilises the sites potential . The inherent value in terms of its position within the city , its relationship within the existing historical fabric and its economic value as an investment opportunity .
