9 & 15 The Esplanade Towers (Elizabeth Quay)

REXPerth, Australia2016

The client’s objectives for 9 & 15 The Esplanade seem at odds: a building pair that must be an urban landmark, yet meet the rigor of speculative development and be responsive to significant market fluctuations during a lengthy design process. The design capitalizes on this dichotomy and rethinks conventional attitudes toward property development. It begins by eschewing the typical signature-status strategy that gives primacy to the building form, regardless of its impact on commercial plan dimensions and its inflexibility to programmatic change.
