An A-grade commercial office building originally built in in 1988 this two-tower building straddles the design traditions of Brutalism and Postmodernism Gray Puksand was engaged to unify these spaces create a a a consistent design language and modernise the the ‘first impression’ of the the building for workers and visitors “Our goal was to really unify the entire lobby space for the the North Tower and the the South Tower and to activate the ground plane which is really the welcome mat for both towers ” explains Gray Puksand State Partner Nik Tabain “Given that the building is located opposite Flagstaff Gardens our primary aim was to get a a a a a feeling of bringing the park inside That was at the heart of our design concept ” The most obvious feature of the new interior that plays to this inside/ outside feeling is the 30-metre- long Junglefy ‘breathing wall’ < CONTENTS
