DRAMATIC DESIGN IN BALANCE

Dramatic yet practical, the Australian Federal Police Headquarters situated within the Adelaide Airport Terminals precinct amalgamates a loose collection of existing facilities into one unifi ed statement, improving the AFP’s functional operations while elevating its identity and public profile. A key concept behind the design is the balance between high-level security and an appealing public presence. Designed to AFP and ASIO security requirements, it is softened by features such as shaped precast walls that are functionally defensive yet sculpturally inviting, and casual seating benches doubling as protective bollards. Located in a fl ood-plain, the building responds with elevated massing and sensitive landscaping, including earth-mounded mitigation measures The project features include a large precast ramp in exposed aggregate concrete finish, external double-glazed aluminium frames with 12mm steel sunshades, and the fresh and modern ALUCOBOND® façade.
A feature metal staircase runs from the ground fl oor to fi rst fl oor and overlooks the decked breakout area. The Australian Federal Police’s three-level office earned a 4.5 green star rating energy efficiency because of its environmentally sustainable design features, including using low energy equipment and lighting during the building phase. Operational feedback has been excellent, and industry recognition culminated in a Commendation in the Commercial Building Category of the 2013 AIA Awards.
