Hannell Street Commercial | EJE

A commercial builder’s own headquarters, Hannell Street Commercial provides Core Project Group with a comfortable, collaborative modern office in a high profile location. The design of the building and office layout allows flexible workspaces, areas for downtime, places for privacy, places for collective discission and room for expansion for the growing company. Viewed in transit from the adjacent roundabout, the linear facacde of the building evokes horizontal movement at speed, with subtle changes in angle allowing light and shadow to articulate a changing appearance across the day.

Murrook | Derive Architecture & Design with Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council

Murrook represents a deep collaboration between Derive Architecture & Design and the Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), which began in 2013. The project aimed to create a culturally significant, multifunctional space through a comprehensive masterplan that integrated the Worimi people’s vision. The project was constructed in phases to manage costs independently of government funding. The Centre includes cultural performance spaces, conference facilities, a cultural collection and interpretation space, educational areas, a restaurant with a culinary training program, and spaces for local artists and an on-site land management initiative. Highly nuanced design strategies included adaptively reusing existing structures, using a roof form inspired by the nearby sand dunes, and a weathering steel façade integrating language with cultural significance. The project is centred around a respectful, collaborative approach, with a view to creating a lasting cultural and functional space for the community.

Strong Concrete detailing and warm robust rendered surfaces add warmth to the palette. the hotel is an oasis that merges the public and private realms to create connections between hotel guests and locals enjoying the space. Its rooftop consists of both a bar and a pool that provides a unique perspective on the coastal landscape.
