Project description:

This project consisted largely of a new four-storey office extension adjoining the Wynyard Travelodge Hotel for NRMA executive areas.  It also included the renovation of the Travelodge podium façade and conversion of Level 1 spaces to offices, linking to the new extension.

The extension is an excellent example of post-modern minimalist architecture with a frameless planar glass curtain wall façade, cantilevered glass awning and internal glass observation lift.

The project had some major construction challenges including:

 - A very high quality customised façade
 - Three of the site boundaries fronted busy CBD roads
 - The site was one of the most constrained in Sydney being only 8m wide by 22m long opposite the Wynyard transport interchange
 - The immediately adjacent 25-storey hotel remained in continuous operation

These challenges were overcome using detailed planning and by proactive and innovative actions by our project team.
