Bell Ave

Bell Ave - Mt Wellington Commercial Completed 2016 JWA collaborated with a fantastic project team to create a strong idea to solve the architectural challenges of the site. We were engaged to design two separate offices and warehouses side by side, both with their own titles. Like a peacock showing off its feathers to impress beyond its actual size, a large plane folds out over the office building and wraps down the front of the building. This provides a recognisable identity, solar shading to the north, and rain protection to the doors out to the social areas. The elevation to the street plays with a layering of glass, hanging structure and louvres, all brought together in the simple gesture. The building presents as a singular address, not two separate titles, creating a confident street presence.
