Peters Ice Cream’s 2250sqm Head Office accommodates 180 staff and creates a direct link with the existing Peters Ice Cream factory at the rear of the site in the south-eastern suburbs in Melbourne. The single storey office building explores a slightly different typology compared to a typical urban office building.

Its position on a natural fall in the land encouraged an innovative design response which resulted in several key features that enhance the building’s lightness of touch in the landscape. The challenge was to ensure that the head office had a presence on site when viewed in context with the existing factory buildings and surrounding environment.
