    Textured precast concrete, aluminium panels and timber create beautiful layered surfaces.

    Glazing not only protects the internal spaces from the harsh sunlight but connects with the local natural landscape, eucalypts and surrounds. Landscaping softens the buildings mass giving scale and strength to the emerging built form of the University Hill precinct.

     

    The feature perforated sunscreen, passive window louvres and recessed windows control the internal space from the harsh sun in a gentle almost transparent way. A deck on the first floor provides a space with views to the natural Australian bush and farmland beyond.

    The Cranbourne North strip consists of three separate retail buildings with a carpark located at the rear of the complex. The result is a creative, less predictable commercial architectural design that both complements and provides an interesting contrast to the Avenue Shopping Centre.
