100 St Georges Terrace sits in the heart of the Perth CBD and is the commercial component of the 24 storey mixed use development that also includes ‘Enex 100’ the retail sector of the building. Comprising 17 storeys of office space, its connection to Enex 100 establishes an important pedestrian link between the busy Hay Street Mall and St Georges Terrace bringing much needed vibrancy into the CBD. It also caters for workers and city residents through the provision of shopping amenities. The building has been carefully designed to respond to its diverse and historical context. Bordered by the Bankwest Tower and the heritage listed Trinity Church, the design integrates with the two vastly different building types. A selection of steel and glass is used effectively to establish a contemporary facade while projecting sunshades play a purpose of minimising heat consumption into the building.
Internally, minimalistic use of furniture and colour coupled with effective light placements, signage and materials creates a sense of space and brings subtle vibrancy to the lobby. A large glass interpretive artwork sits impressively against a feature wall highlighting the history of the site and can be viewed from the street. Sustainable design features include a cross over core approach designed for maximum tenant flexibly, use of high performance external glazing which reduces energy consumption while still allowing penetration of natural day light into the building and projecting sunshades to the northern facades to enhance energy performance all year round. Cyclist secured parking with shower facilities have also been installed to encourage tenants to bike it in rather than drive.
