The brief was for the design and delivery of a new, state-of-the-art automotive training facility for Nissan Australia.
This project skillfully handles the integration of the client’s need for global branding for a new commercial facility, set in an industrial neighbourhood. The building uses tradition commercial materials and construction technology, yet manages to achieve a design that is cost effective, striking in its appearance and generating a bold corporate identity. Functional planning is efficient, with the striking exterior colour scheme carried through into the interior.
Sustainable values have been considered through form, design detailing, material selection and water harvesting. This project was a clear winner in this category.
