Uniting Bowden Brae, Stage 1

Uniting Bowden Brae, Stage 1

Client: Uniting

Architect: IDG Architects

Builder: Cockram Construction

Cost: $20M

Project: Completion of Bldg A & Bldg B Plant Room 2 blocks, 5 to 7 storeys

The Stage 1 works included construction of Building A across seven-storeys with a major transfer level above the basement carparking. The gross floor area for Building A is effectively split into two wings that are interconnected by a terraced walkway. 

The suspended floors were constructed using post-tensioned materials. With a portion of Building B being constructed during Stage 1, the design team were challenged with repositioning new building elements to limit structural modifications to new and/or existing works whilst keeping the impact to the architectural intent to a minimum.
