A new benchmark for the Norwest business precinct — Isaac Towers

A new benchmark for the Norwest business precinct — Isaac Towers

Strategically located within Norwest's thriving business precinct, just 400 meters from the Norwest Metro Station, this new mixed-use development will redefine Norwest as a destination for work, wellness and leisure. Our Mixed-Use, Retail, and Industrial Sector project team worked with our client to navigate the rigorous Design Review Panel with strong design narratives and a skillfully executed urban design concept. This meticulously planned proposal creates a vibrant, harmonious urban environment.

The proposed building seamlessly integrates with the existing urban fabric while aligning with the desired future character and surpassing the approved built form outlined in the site-specific Development Control Plan (DCP). Comprising two towers—a 10-storey and a 6-storey structure—connected by a striking 3-storey glazed atrium, the design activates the ground level with a through-site link engaging both north and south interfaces.

The Brookhollow interface has been meticulously planned to ensure an active streetscape. A café and gym face the street, strategically positioned to maximize accessibility and visibility, complemented by features such as an amphitheatre, seating areas, and terraced landscapes that mitigate level differences.

The eastern 6-storey towers house the gym and childcare facilities strategically positioned to maintain a setback from the rear boundary while maximising accessibility. Meanwhile, the hotel occupies the east wing, and commercial spaces are concentrated in the western wing.

The central atrium is a publicly accessible, active ground plane connecting Brookhollow Avenue to the North Fairmont reserve, facilitating vertical circulation through the building. Landscaping elements integrated throughout the atrium and rooftop create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering key social areas for patrons and enhancing the site's integration into the public domain.
