105 Corlett Drive | Paragon Architects
105 Corlett Drive designed by Paragon Architects, Project Architect Carla Soudien describes the conceptual approach: ?The concept of the building is derived from a number of sources including the location and context, the choice of materials and the accommodation requirements. The prime site offers an opportunity to generate a jewel box of crafted materials including glass and the Arcelor Mittal Caïman cladding for the cones. Computer software was used to generate a taut collection of forms that challenge the traditional expressions of materials like concrete and glass. Extensive planting on the podium also softens the structure for the inhabitants.?

Carla says the design is based on a glazed box which appears to float, supported by the three conical forms. The cladding provides a glimmering effect that is achieved with changing light qualities. Additionally, it could hold the required form while other materials could not. On the north and south elevations, a reflective laminated Solarshield S30 glass has been specified. On the east and west elevations, a tinted Eclipse Grey Advantage glass has been specified. Ivan Lin assisted with glass specification vis à vis sound insulation, advising that laminated glass could achieve the insulation performance for the allocated budget. Photography: Andrew Bell
