The building is a box sandwiched between two walls of dimpled
aluminium sheeting. It stands alone perched on 'pilotis' above
the cliff line. The structure is exposed, the function is
exposed. The skin is exposed. A hard edged commercial building
that stands alone perched on the cliff top held up by a Corbusian
parti of piloti.
A solid black plaster wall with punched holes and a shallow
scooped out bay, relating to the urban milieu of Parnell.
A glazed north wall faces the city and harbour - "seen
and be seen".
A red "box" protrudes through the exposed wall
of glazing providing a splash of colour from the monochromatic
colour scheme. The roof, a curve hovers above the box protecting
and projecting.
A building - an elegant box - on the edge.
