Pelathon

our services: concept & building design, planning

location: Shields St, Cairns City

size: 14 storeys

The owners of one of the last vacant lots of land in central Cairns were keen to establish the potential property value & use.  Myriad was engaged to develop the design for a multi-story, mixed use building. Key to the design was the resolution of the code parameters; structural & civil design foundations. With these elements resolved, we developed a conceptual solution that could be tested against the market opportunities. The next test was Council’s Planning Department, which after a full review endorsed the building design with enthusiasm.

It was important to create a distinct character for the property that would entice residential ownership to a quality CBD lifestyle.  A variety of mostly dual-key apartment configurations were planned.  Modulation of the façade & integrated planting creates both a softness & a strength that imbues the building with a quality that is attractive for the occupants & fitting for the townscape. The podium level accommodates offices & restaurant tenancies for the commercial mix & the essential lifestyle attributes for a building of this calibre.
