NIOA Brisbane Office Expansion - Progress Report

Due to its local environment, the building had significant acoustic, corrosivity, wind exposure and thermal constraints to consider in the design. Mass timber construction has been illuminated by controlled daylighting optimized to the building orientation, creating tonally warm and stimulating office environments.

The use of natural zinc cassette panels was utilized as a low maintenance, long-life material and as a protective rain-screen system to the mass timber wall construction. Glazing was minimized to framed portrait windows on the east and west facades to control solar gain and a south-facing timber framed curtain wall system allowed for diffuse daylighting to the interior spaces. All glazing is triple low-e coated IGU systems, creating a thermally and acoustically efficient envelope to the building.
