The Project
New mixed-use building in highly sensitive low-rise setting.
The Challenge
Achieving design excellence in the context of the recognised greater sensitivity to the Royal Exhibition Building setting, particularly in the context of the lower-scale streetscapes setting, and the need to protect direct views and vistas in the precinct.
PPP's Outcome
Highly contested but successful VCAT appeal, mindful of local and State heritage controls, Commonwealth conservation legislation, and World Heritage Environs Area prescription.
