Offering 19,500 square metres of office space, the building features an impressive lobby on the ground floor, which is formed by a curvilinear wall, laminated in folding brass, and displays Janet Laurence’s public art – an evocation of indigenous landscapes – suspended in glass panes above the corner atria.
