This former laneway sits between the State Heritage listed Adelaide Arcade and Regent Arcade buildings, positioned in the prime CBD shopping district of Adelaide.

A rare infill opportunity designed by Woodhead has resulted in a bold and contemporary steel and glass building, that is respectful of the adjoining heritage facades but unashamedly, modern and appealing in its own right.

Its transparency and volume allows the conserved and featured adjoining heritage walls to form an intrinsic part of the new building space with dramatic and elegant effect.

This building makes a valid contribution to the ongoing heritage of the place. The new building also makes use of environmentally sustainable design principles through use of natural light and high performance glazing.
