The complex site, which sits atop a train station and its various ventilation shafts, as well as staircases and other infrastructure, required precise coordination and a creative response to bring clarity to the final design.
The various layers of the project have been designed to relate to one another, achieved by the manipulation of the architectural from to create a series of cantilevered decks and balconies which overhang the sunken event space, creating visual interest and connection between multiple levels.
The project creates vibrant commercial outcomes, while also ensuring that the public are able to make full use of a new open space and retreat from the urban environment that is open 24 hours a day.
