| This 37 story office tower and public plaza designed by Denton Corker Marshall includes retail, Brisbane City Council’s offices, and Brisbane library. The street level is a social and cultural hub with urban corridors and a gathering plaza full of sculpture art and historical buildings. Low colorful outcroppings contain the council’s library, customer service centre and other office space over the plaza. The city council, however, is at the top, shielded by a massive sunscreen. Three spider-braced columns support additional cantilevered offices at the top against the structure core, with 65,000m2 of office space total. This project opened early 2007. |
