Habitat Commercial

OVERVIEW

Habitat Commercial forms the centrepiece of the entire Habitat development, with workspaces sitting atop a quality food and retail precinct, all centred around a softly landscaped courtyard. The buildings are rooted in the local industrial and agricultural vernacular, and deliberately dispersed to provide landscaped ‘in-between’ spaces for casual meetings and vertical circulation. Passive properties of good sub-tropical design underpin sophisticated active environmental systems, with public art commissions woven into the fabric of the structure. The Commercial Precinct’s quality public domain with amenity, landscaping, parking and maximum permeability to its surrounding context, is invigorated by the space it offers the adjoining Arts and Industry Estate, brimming with workers but devoid of public anchor.
