The Qantas Global headquarters was fully refurbished to provide interior workspaces, internal connecting stairs and conversion of a warehouse. A street hub was created between existing buildings with detailed steel and glass walls and roof. A courtyard to the north with tree lined streetscape completed the works.
Qantas remained in occupation during the works. The construction program included staff relocations and staff and visitor access and safety. Structural upgrading was required to existing piles and building floors, with the existing structure constantly reviewed. The site had limited access and a large tower crane was carefully selected and located to suit the entire site. There were fire engineered solutions for the atrium BCA requirements, together with heating and cooling considerations. The building was built to achieve 5 star energy rating.
The detailing and finishes are impressive and to a high standard.
