Coloured, perforated sunshades provide a uniform architectural vernacular across the towers. The frame supporting these sunshades is the defining feature, emphasising the ascending form.

The colours of the sunshades are inspired by the native flora in the area. Specifically river red gums and the site’s existing scar tree. “Colours that are found in the river red gums are used to provide a multi-coloured and multi-faceted façade. We aim to bring back to the site the colours that existed over 200 years ago,” says Tabain. 

The space between the two towers will become an area of activity for the building’s occupants. It is intended to provide a rooftop garden and half-size basketball court. It is envisaged this space will be used often throughout the varying seasons of the year.

Softening the Swan Street frontage is critical to the success of the project. It is intended that the ground-floor lobby is a clear-glass element with its primary entry in the void between the two towers. A highly detailed double-height space will clearly activate Swan Street 24/7 with clever lighting in the evening to emphasise the space.
