DEUTSCHE BANK PLACE


Deutsche Bank Place in Sydney designed by Foster and Partners with assistance from Hassell architects. The multi storey building was designed to cater for new work styles that are more dynamic and less hierarchical. Therefore a larger open plan was required.


The largest single span in Australia was created the floor plates are 21m x 64m. The view across the floor of the 1200m2 is apparently breathtaking.

Introduction

I passed this site just after Christmas on my push bike. At first glance it appeared to be an ubiquitous portal frame. However the shining relfections from the frame signalled that it was different. The portal frame was not your normal hot rolled steel UB section but cold rolled. The type you usually see in those kit garages and barns, but this spans 20m!
