The refurbishment of the facade and main lobby entrance was undertaken on busy George Street, resulting in major access issues together with dealing with public access to the building and surrounding properties. The building was fully occupied throughout the works. Five new tenancies were also created.  Alucobond “diamonds” were utilised for the main awning along George Street and the soffits of two internal feature awnings. The existing plantroom was moved and replaced with a boxed-out glass facade on levels two to five. The two main entry lobby columns have been clad in fibre-reinforced polymer. Finishes to the lobby included marble cladding, low-iron clear glass, stone flooring and curved timber battens, making for a striking entrance.
The work was finished to a high standard under difficult circumstances, with a high degree of co-ordination required for the installation of these complex works.
