11 York Street

In keeping with its cultural heritage, the building was designed to mirror the lines, shapes, form and colours of its surrounding buildings. We also worked to ensure the building was considerate of the height of nearby buildings, weaving into the space respectfully.

The high-quality concrete frame is coloured to reflect Portland stone, much of which you will find on the surrounding buildings on York Street, matching the tone of the surrounding architecture.

The facade concept is simple yet effective. Reflecting the internal structural grid, it is divided into square bays, creating a greater connection to the outside as you look in.

We decided that York Street would be a more desirable location for the building's entrance - solidifying its presence as a landmark in the business district. The significant corner feature and double height lobby is a key design element and provides clear direction to the entrance.

A testament to forward-thinking design, each floor has the potential to be split into three suites, bringing endless opportunity for a range of different requirements. Whilst the original concept was to be for commercial office use, the space is adaptable for a range of purposes.

A carefully designed planning grid means that a wide range of office layouts can be accommodated from open plan call-centre type operations to individual cellular offices and meeting rooms.

The upper floors of the building break free of the concrete frame to highlight a clearly defined 'top' that sits pleasantly on the horizon. Variations in scales and materials on York Street makes for a more interesting skyline.
