Business View Australia - November-December 2015

In a unique feature, the building uses

automated blinds and screens with

visual light transmittance of less than

10%. These are equipped with manual

overrides and serve to reduce daylight

glare. Another design feature, which

reduces glare, is the provision of flat-

screen, mounted workstation monitors

that can be manually adjusted.

The carpets, tenancy fit-out items,

adhesives and sealants used have low

quantitiesofvolatileorganiccompounds

and composite wood-products have low

-formaldehyde emissions.

Cox Architecture is well-

prepared to meet the

challenges that lie ahead

In addition to its expertise in the field

of architecture, the firm offers planning

and urban design services and interior

design services. The Yulara Township at

Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a testament to the

firm’s planning and urban design skills.

Initially, the firm’s interior design

work was focused upon its own

projects, but demand from clients

led to the acceptance of stand-alone

assignments. Consequently, since

the late 1990s, Cox Architecture

has become one of Australia’s best

recognised interior designers.

With expertise in a wide variety of

projects, Cox Architecture is ideally

positioned to take advantage of the

opportunities in its field. The firm has

gained a reputation for being a leader

in designing Green Star projects. The

demand for this skill will grow as the

awareness about green initiatives is

rising.

An increasing number of clients are

realising that although Green Star

rated projects may entail a higher

capital investment, the cost-saving

over the years after construction is

many times the extra initial outlay.
