Located in Orchard Park, Albany Gateway, 55 Corinthian Drive features four levels of offices, dining and retail space, and a five-level car park. The complex was designed by Ignite Architects, with construction completed in November 2020.

Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit software were used for the design of the building and Autodesk Dynamo Studio for features such as the characteristic sculptural fins that spiral around the car park building.

The design demonstrates significant consideration of sustainable practice and the building is rated Green Star Level 5. Features such as passive ventilation, use of natural light, sustainable building materials, electric vehicle charging, rainwater harvesting, and efficient water and electricity consumption all contribute to the building’s impressive Green Star rating.

The building’s exterior aesthetic demonstrates dynamism in the spiraling fins of the parking ramp and its textural palette, shown in detail like the perforated metal sheets on the car park exterior. Subtle use of colour and simplicity of building materials enhance the building’s status as a landmark in the surrounding landscape.
