Array at 1 Eden Park Drive
One of the area’s newest commercial office buildings, Array at 1 Eden Park Drive, is located in the Eden Park Precinct of the Macquarie Park business district. It has close access to public transport including the Metro station on the corner of Waterloo Road and Lane Cove Road.
Responding to the constrained urban context of the site, views to the north and eastern edges of the building have been maximised over existing buildings on Eden Park Drive. A parametric-modelled façade solution provides abundant access to daylight, striking the optimum balance between performance and amenity to deliver an innovative and environmentally responsive façade.
The site’s floor plans have been stretched over the building’s east-west access to maximise views to the north while allowing greater sunlight control. Carefully considered materiality embraces views and connections to the public areas of Eden Park Drive while providing shade to protect the internal office spaces.
Clear full-height glazing to the east connects the deep western portions of the building to the central precinct, welcoming the morning sun deep into the office space. Landscaped outdoor terraces at levels 6 and 7 benefit the tenants and reduce heat load on the roof areas.
Array at 1 Eden Park Drive has been designed to achieve a 5.5 Star NABERS rating, 5 Star Green Star rating and WELL Gold certification, drawing on an integrated design approach with early adoption of whole-systems thinking. The project team worked collaboratively with the building owner to future proof the value of the asset through embedded climate responsive elements and features.
