Array at 1 Eden Park Drive is one of the newest commercial office buildings in Macquarie Park.
The client’s brief was clear; deliver a visually and technically unique building while also achieving high environmental standards.
The eastern face addresses Eden Park Drive’s central precinct, with the western façade looking toward Lane Cove Road. The building steps down to the east to complement the scale of the precinct.
Carefully chosen materials embrace views and connections to public spaces while shading offices. White terracotta cladding and black framed glazing accentuate the building’s form and dynamic façade pattern.
Using thermal mapping, the façades shading was oriented to block harsher sunlight from the north and west and open the building to its east. The parametric modelled solution balances performance and amenity.
Striving for high environmental targets, the distinctive design is also highly sustainable, with features including innovative cooling, best practice waste/recycling, internal/external bicycle parking, and end of trip facilities.
We chose Architectus as the architect and lead consultant to design and deliver our new office building in Macquarie Park.
Our brief was clear: we wanted something visually and technically unique to differentiate the building while also earning high environmental credentials including Green Star, NABERS, and WELL.
Architectus embraced this challenge from the outset, working tirelessly to achieve an outstanding architectural and operational outcome.
We’re proud of our stunning new building, which exceeded our expectations. With the guidance and vision of their team, we believe we’ve set a benchmark for innovative office design at Macquarie Park.
