Aristocrat Facility

At the gateway to the Greystanes Business Hub, this eye catching commercial industrial project for Aristocrat is a collaboration between Australand's in-house design team and AVL. The design intent was to create giant wall panels from sheet metal cladding composed in a checkerboard pattern to create visual interest from the M4 freeway and break-down the scale of the 80m long warehouse walls. Twin office components were also developed along the western elevation. They are designed to achieve thermal comfort with minimal use of air-conditioning by using a combination of passive environmental controls such as aluminium louvre screens, eyelid awnings, performance glass, thermal mass of precast concrete and good insulation.
