Greenacre, NSW NSW FIRE AND RESCUE

The $23 million design and construct development involved the construction of a new, three-storey building at Greenacre, including integrated fit-out and additional under-croft car parking for 132 vehicles.

The project displays a high level of design aesthetic in terms of form and function and a contemporary open plan workspace. Key architectural features include the concrete ‘off-form’ elliptical columns and curtain wall façade system.

Each of these design elements has allowed for large open areas and state-of-the-art collaborative facilities incorporated into the new building design.
The raked angles of the elliptical columns were inspired by a fire fighter’s ladder as it is rests adjacent to a building during a rescue operation.
