​

An iconic replacement building to hold government functions on the site. The design was meant to reintroduce democracy to 21st century society. Incentivising people to be more active politically by seeking out and instructing their elected representatives in an open environment. The project was a predominantly made of glass which allowed people to have oversight of their leaders; promoting transparency, diversity and inclusion.

​

Transparency and translucency were important ideas not only conceptually but also technically. The project lead for an invention of a sustainable glass system which refracts the direction of sunlight within the building, making an already transparent building even more bright, making artificial lighting almost unnecessary during the day.

​

The project intended to traverse the difficult line between making a glass house and making a building sustainable. For this reason, a range of passive design techniques were implemented, one of them being the large atrium hall cascade displaying the aboriginal sculptures of iconic Australian fauna which to cools the air of building.
