Key Aspects

The 3,500m2 Observatory Office Building in West Perth has been specifically developed in a landmark location as a gateway entrance statement to West Perth. This premium grade 4 star Green Star and 5 star NABERS office facility catering to the discerning West Perth tenant sets a new benchmark for West Perth office facilities.

The brief for the design of this building was to future proof the building by adopting the highest quality outcomes in operational, maintenance and energy efficiency. In addition to the passive solar design components of maximising orientation and ventilation outcomes the building incorporates unique features such as light sensor controlled individually addressable LED lighting, Eco-pelmet with solar tracking internal blinds, low ‘e’ double glazed façade with integrated sunshading, high levels of building insulation, rainwater harvesting. External material selection was focused on the minimisation of ongoing maintenance and the presentation of a high quality building for over a 50 year lifecycle.
