ASBuild (NT) Pty Ltd Office
Asbuild HQ showcases the work of Asbuild NT Ply Ltd. The layout of the building expresses and supports the team ethos of the company, the layout provides meeting hubs for the office collaboration and for mingling between the office and construction staff.
The crisp white rectilinear form of the building stands up to the drab chaos of the light industrial surroundings, particularly at night when the building glows like a lantern. The prominent north facade of the building is made from simple cross-break Colorbond steel panels of the type used for large mechanical ducts, demonstrating that common, affordable materials can be used to good aesthetic effect.
The arid region landscaping has been designed around the celebratory nature of a rain event, with a trench of local river rocks capturing the water from the roof rainwater spouts and retaining it to obtain as much soakage as possible before the surplus water leaves the site.
