Major Project-Architect

ABOVE: Ashton Raggatt McDougall, Docklands Port 1010, Digital Harbour

The building that I chose to use as my influence for the design of my warehouse was Ashton Raggatt McDougall's Docklands Port 1010 building, which is part of the digital harbour development. The focus of Docklands Port 1010 was to create new office spaces specifically designed for the use by the IT industry. Tinted glass has been used to provide shade to the offices inside, which is a technique that I will also be using for my offices. I have also decided to explore the pattern used on the facade of this building, but using timber battens instead to make up the shapes.
