Substation 164 is a new 7,867m2 boutique office tower that incorporates the restoration & refurbishment of the heritage listed Shelley Warehouse & the adjoining former electrical substation, together with a new 7 level sculptural glass extension.
The project involved complex construction works which included the full restoration, refurbishment & consolidation of the 2 existing heritage buildings, basement excavation & full building underpinning temporary works.
It also included construction of a new cantilevered curved glass extension structure above the heritage buildings requiring significant planning, engineering & innovative construction methodologies.
Substation 164 (the entire commercial complex) is a very fine example of converting 2 historic industrial buildings into one modern, state-of-the-art, commercial complex without losing any heritage value.
A very well thought out, coordinated & well-constructed project.
