Southpoint End of Trip Facility

 

Quadric was pleased to assist Rhombus PM and Union Investment Real Estate GmbH and AXA Investment Managers with the delivery of the new end of trip facility at Southpoint, South Brisbane.

This bespoke facility truly raises the bar for End of Trip Facilities in Brisbane.

Designer loopcreative created a vibrant and thrilling customer experience through the innovative use of texture, color and lighting. The design challenge was to create a stimulating environment in a tenancy devoid of natural light. The solution was to create lightboxes infused with color creating an environment enlivened by the interplay of color, light and shadow. The color red infuses the space glowing from the feature glass boxes and feature lighting. From a design point of view, this project is a useful illustration of how a problem (lack of natural light) has resulted in a more inspiring and innovative design than might have otherwise been considered.

Quadric were engaged for initial budget estimates of the project and were within 10% of the final Construction cost.  Subsequently Quadric won a select tender process and then assisted further with value engineering to bring the project within budget.

The project presented a variety of challenges, not the least of which was procuring and supplying a number of premium finishes and products within a tight timeframe. The project entailed the relocation of building essential services including mechanical ductwork and the main fibre-optic cabling. The space was transformed from an underutilized undercroft into one of Brisbane’s most luxurious and tactile end of trip facilities.

340 Adelaide St Forecourt and Lobby

 

The re-imagining of 340 Adelaide Street from it’s previous identity as Oracle House was commissioned by real estate firm Mirvac, project managed by Edge, designed by WMK, and constructed by Quadric.

Works involved an extensive refurbishment of the 90’s CBD office building including ground floor upgrade, the creating of an A-grade building entrance, whilst re-establishing the iconic buildings street presence.  The heart of the project is the new subtropical forecourt, which has been transformed into a casual space for people to gather and relax. Daylight, natural materials and greenery create a warm and inviting retreat-like space. The main entrance re-configuration forms a clean and unobstructed entry, with introduction of new canopy of curved steel and battenwork with trafficable awning and tropical garden features.

As the building remained in occupation, logistics and careful staging was necessary to ensure building occupants maintained access and amenity.  Existing concrete columns forming part of the facade were removed for new steelwork structure to be formed creating the new entrance portal.  Co-ordination of column construction and cladding was a key collaboration point.
