One The Esplanade | Hassell

One The Esplanade celebrates the site’s unique cultural significance as a place for gathering and trade, a place for coming together and celebrating.

Working in partnership with Brookfield Properties and cultural partners Soft Earth, Hassell ensured a deep connection to Whadjuk Country by respecting the site’s cultural history, by using local materials, endemic planting and commissioned artworks by First Nations artists creating a lasting legacy that celebrates the past while embracing a shared future.

The 29-storey tower presents a timelessly elegant landmark on the city skyline offering a new destination for Perth. Its sophisticated integration of diverse uses is complemented by a generous public realm that seamlessly connects the city to the waterfront.

The masterful application of a restrained materials palette, detailing, lighting, and high quality of craftsmanship results in One the Esplanade establishing a new benchmark for architectural design in Western Australia.

NEXTDC S3 Data Centre | Greenbox Architecture

NEXTDC introduces NEXTDC S3, a state of the art data centre addressing the escalating demand for computational capabilities in Australia. Positioned north of Sydney’s CBD, the facility spans 20,000m2, providing 80MW of critical power to meet diverse needs.

The building is highly visible due to its elevated position on the Pacific Highway, from which the surrounding topography falls away relatively quickly towards a commercial /industrial zone to the East and towards residential dwellings to the west.

Internally, the building is intelligently configured, with electrical and mechanical components eastward to mitigate acoustic concerns from the western residences.

The building’s facades are a testament to functionality and aesthetics. Mechanical pipework on the Pacific Highway side reveals the inner workings, while stainless steel generator exhausts on the east resemble organ pipes a visual representation of preparedness for any power related challenges. NEXTDC S3 stands as a beacon of technological advancement, meeting the evolving needs of Australia’s computational landscape.
