Freedom Building banner

Another successful conversion of a retail warehouse into A grade CBD office space. Its location, within view of the historic wooden lattice of the Prince’s Gate entryway to the Government Gardens, inspired a wooded timber framework to the exterior. The laminated timber structure creates a foil for the naked masonry of the original building façade, while referencing the timber structure of the Prince’s Gateway.
