Inspired by the skin of a pine cone, the building’s unique triangulated dia-grid facade responds to its environment like a living organism, acting as an articulated sunshade. Following an intensive environmental analysis with consultants Atelier 10, Woods Bagot used parametric modelling tools to integrate environmental, programmatic, and formal requirements into the facade. Each of its façade’s several thousand triangular glass panels responds to environmental conditions inside and out. The glass is shaded by projecting hoods that vary in depth based on solar orientation, while perforated panels draw in air. Supported entirely by a steel grid, this articulated shell wraps every visible side of the building, including its underbelly. From an aeroplane window, it appears that a diamond-shaped UFO has landed on the edge of the CBD.

Jay Weatherill, has described as “the largest biomedical precinct in the southern hemisphere”.
