With its singular, angled glass façades rising above a busy inner-city street, this building has immediately assumed a prominent position in the Wellington skyline. An atrium incorporating a transparent lift shaft and open stairwell connects the building’s various levels both functionally and visually, and makes for a dramatic spatial experience. The 5 Green Star-rated building also provides pedestrian connectivity through a significant city block. In sum, this is a stimulating design that enlivens its urban context.
