Transgrid headquarters - Bates Smart
TransGrid’s new Haymarket HQ in Sydney has become the first NSW project to be awarded a 6 Star Green Star Office Interiors v1.1 rating in round one of assessment, exceeding its original sustainability targets at no extra cost thanks to initiatives from the project team, client and subcontractors.
The building has also been awarded 5 Star Green Star Office Design V3 and 5 Star Green Star Office As Built V3 ratings, and recently won the contractor, Built, a NSW Master Builders Association Award for Excellence in Resource Efficiency for its dematerialised fitout and high waste recycling rate.
The design for the nine-storey commercial office building by Bates Smart, Enstruct and Arup was the winning entry in a City of Sydney design excellence competition. The building is situated above an existing four-storey building, and an innovative use of heavy steel trusses across the roof of the existing building to act as a giant transfer truss enabled the new structure to cantilever six metres out beyond the envelope of the existing building, giving an extra 300 square metres of floorplate for each level.
