Technical Facility

“….an interesting take on a low cost industrial/office building which is Coca Cola’s public face and a very high quality facility for its production and executive team…”

The site of this facility is in Sydney’s western suburbs of Northmead, a well established Coca-Cola production and distribution centre. The new building is intended as the public face of the company offering a front of house auditorium for school groups or other public gatherings to learn about the company. Additionally the facility provides amenities and  cafeteria for production and executives staff spilling out into soft landscaped external space. Accommodation for 70 office staff in an ope plan office environment on the top floor provides god communication bet6weeen the various team m embers and a dynamic social environment.

All the amenities and services spaces are located on the southern facade with a central circulation spine defining the office and social spaces, all of which are north facing. The open plan environment allows future change and flexibility in a commercial environment which will change over time. Significant break out spaces provide relief from the internal environment and the opportunity for greater social interaction between staff and guests.

The building relies largely on a naturally ventilation and lighting strategy with operable glass doors and windows, screened from above to avoid undesirable glare.
