A central atrium marketplace creates a unified culture at Woolworths campus
At a glance
The Woolworths Head Office provided for the collocation of office accommodation and training facilities from eight locations together to create a unified culture.
The challenge
Our response
The resulting horizontal campus comprises three commercial buildings, each of 3-4 storeys, totalling 36,000m2 of office space connected by a 2,500m2 central marketplace.
The site was located in a new greenfield business park with a riparian zone flanking the eastern boundary. The landscaping was designed using primarily endemic species selected to survive periods of drought or low seasonal rainfall. The mottled facade relates to the eucalypt context which was re-established around the site.
The impact
Through our strong collaborative approach with the client and a team of sub consultants, the result was a built solution which resolved the unique atrium and central marketplace with off the shelf components assembled to allow maximum sustainable performance.
