| About |
A modern multi-storey building incorporating open plan office space in Hobart's CBD. |
Centrally located in the heart of Hobart this modern
multi-storey building incorporates a range of energy
and water saving measures. The five storey facility
incorporates open plan office space for the client in
addition to commercial lease areas.
Engaged through an open tender process by the
client's architect, Fairbrother was responsible for the
timely management of the full project scope which
encompassed the demolition of a pre-existing
structure, construction of the pre-stressed concrete
slabs, installation of pre-cast panels and the
subsequent fit-out of the entire facility. The joinery
package was shared by two key subcontractors
including Fairbrother Joinery and was installed to
fine tolerances to achieve a high quality finish.
The pre-cast atrium stairs are a prominent feature
accessed via large double sliding doors from
the main street. Techlam tiles provide an abstract
representation of a former RACT building and
provide a visually striking backdrop to the
commanding staircase. A large customer service
area has been created in spacious and well lit
atrium over two levels and is decorated with a
specially commissioned artwork detailing the
client's evolution as an iconic Tasmanian business.
