WS2: Rethinking building design in Perth

Since the early 1990s, WS2 has housed a popular concrete car park for city visitors and workers. In 2017, GDI Property Group purchased the property, facing a complex challenge: creating a 12-storey building with 9,500 square metres of net lettable space while preserving the underground car park. GDI also aimed to explore sustainable building practices and add value to the Westralia Square Precinct. Over the past five years, we’ve been instrumental in shaping the new WS2 building in Perth. This innovative project involved designing Perth’s first timber-hybrid office tower through adaptive reuse and engineering innovations. Our multidisciplinary approach included providing structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, acoustics, materials consulting, and facade engineering services. Notable innovations included in-floor dampers and utilising energy capacity from a nearby building’s plant room.
