Contract Value: $200,000

Contract: Structural fit-out carpentry package

Client: Dominion Constructors

Completion Date: Scheduled for early 2020  

The International is a landmark piece of architecture that started life as one of the city’s grandest hotels: The Grand was three stories of elegance and style that hosted the wealthy and famous until the 1960s. In the 1980s, consent was granted to build a 15-storey concrete office tower behind it, a building currently rated at 310 per cent of new building seismic standard. Now, in a radical move, the building will be wrapped in a striking exoskeleton, which cantilevers off the building in a lattice of white steel and alloy, creating expansive conservatories for every apartment. The façade has been meticulously restored, and the lobby refurbished with natural stone and beautiful fixtures, as befitting its history as one of the city’s grandest spaces.
