Eastland Office Development moves ahead
February 13, 2020
Peddle Thorp’s suite of local government projects has taken another step forward with a new development in Melbourne.
Joining developments across Australia, a new office building takes full advantage of the best in environmental and architectural design. Overlooking Maroondah Highway in Ringwood, the Eastland Office Development will be a lightweight modernist design and contemporary addition on top of the existing carpark at Eastland Shopping Centre.
The elegant glass façade will be softened by lightweight timber vertical fins to not only provide shade to the interiors but a sharp contrast to the areas of textured precast concrete panels aimed to enhance the linear design cues. Darker earthy tones and considered lighting will provide contrast and an emphasis of forms to the overall design.
The two levels of office space will provide for 3500 square metres of lettable area, and are aimed to achieve a 5-star GBCA Green Star rating, and a base building rating of 4.5 stars NABERS.
Scheduled for completion by mid-year, and combined with a rooftop terrace, it will allow Maroondah City Council to add to services provided at the adjoining REALM complex, the centrepiece of Council's Ringwood Town Square precinct.
