Appreciation towards Charles Wright Architects for providing the following description: 

CWA were approached by the project client to deliver a carbon neutral (in operation)
solution for an environmentally sensitive site off-grid on the edge of the FNQ beachfront
rainforest. The aim was not to simply produce an engineered outcome but produce a
building which made the most of the sites natural amenity and re-introduced the
surrounding native wetland environment. The building is literally reflected by way of its
siting over an engineered water ecosystem which was the result of lengthy liaison &
collaboration with National Parks, Environmental Agencies, State and Local
Government.
 

The design is formed in an innovative combination of in-situ and precast concrete. The
concrete has been engineered & insulated incorporating a total solar panelled roof to
provide for a constant cooler & more comfortable ambient temperature year-round. The
design utilises massive cantilevers to mitigate impact from potential flooding & king
tide inundation associated with cyclonic activity. The project has been designed to be
solid and to withstand intense cyclones.
 
ESD initiatives include: total 250,000 ltr water harvesting, recycling & reticulation,
renewable solar energy generation with solar backup non-reliant on fossil fuel backup
generation, On-site Advanced Tertiary Sewerage treatment plant, grey water recycling
& irrigation, Shaded & Insulated Thermal mass engineering, ‘green’ cooling & energy
conservation controlled via building automation system (CBUS).
