−	The building is made up of two stacked modules of 12 and nine oors, with seven ~~‘villages’~~ of three-storey communal workspaces, providing connectivity and vertical integration between the oors which create the feeling of extensive space. Central to the ~~building’s~~ sense of community is the elevated ~~‘village square’~~ on the 18th oor, set within a three-storey void. This area will provide a focal point for occupants of the building, allowing meeting and interaction within a light and airy space.	+	The building is made up of two stacked modules of 12 and nine oors, with seven 'villages' of three-storey communal workspaces, providing connectivity and vertical integration between the oors which create the feeling of extensive space.

	The building has been designed to make the most of its prominent, north-facing site, bounded by Elizabeth, Hunter and Phillip Streets. Its highly transparent façade, high ceilings and legible structure ensure the building enjoys open and unobstructed views out over the city and a sense of space and light within.

−	Perhaps the dening feature of the project is the six-storey open space at street level that not only forms a grand entrance to the building, but creates a new, signicant area of public space which addresses and completes Chiey Square. The open space is repeated midway up the building and again at the top, integrating ~~Australia’s~~ outdoor lifestyle into the ~~city’s~~ work environment.	+	Perhaps the dening feature of the project is the six-storey open space at street level that not only forms a grand entrance to the building, but creates a new, signicant area of public space which addresses and completes Chiey Square.
