Deakin Waterfront

The new addition to deakin waterfront is the renovation of the old building that has been sitting there for years. The first problem that arose for those involved was the fact that the floor levels were not big enough for this type of building and therefore each level had to be raised 600mm.
The original building is made of brick veneer and is supported by steel columns and beams, with timber flooring. The new addition is made of concrete construction and is only a small section to the east.



The beautiful views from the upper level.

This view is of the void at the upper level, they have just started putting glass in at this level where the offices will be.

The enormous concrete lintel in the back corner is visible here that had to be added to support the new structure.

In the original part of the building you can see the steel columns and beams used for support.

Here you can see the brickwork that was removed in order to add windows and to help allow sun into the windows of the existing deakin building.

This image is showing the concrete columns and beams used in the extension.
