Novello is a high-quality design response in the City of Wollongong and its ever-changing built and natural environment. The building integrates into the desired and future street character in a diverse and changing part of the city. Novello is a visual tribute to the City of Wollongong.
The building responds well to the site and the surrounding context, and creates a significant form which sits proudly within the city centre. Novello creates a sense of space, responding to the scale, visual context, views and the local community.
