One Central Park

One Central Park

Located on the site of a former brewery, One Central Avenue comprised of two towers, 18 stories and 33 stories respectively, on a 5 storey retail podium as part of a 250,000sqm development plan. The towers provide 623 luxury apartments above a 5 level retail and recreation podium.

The eastern tower featured a dramatic light reflector installation, extending from the upper levels on a grand cantilever. The reflected light system incorporated an innovative system of both fixed and motorized mirrored panels, designed to capture sunlight and redirect it into the retail atrium and onto the landscaped terraces. Planter boxes, vertical vines and green walls incorporated into the facade will wrap the towers in plant life, extending the central parkland upward, growing around the building’s façade. The development provided a further five levels below ground for car parking and service vehicles as well as a central water recycling plant.

The development’s central thermal plan (trigeneration) provided heating and cooling for air conditioning and hot water requirements of this building and others within the development.

Seeing this project for the first time stopped me dead.There have been major advances in the incorporation of greenery in high-rise buildings over the past few years – but nothing on the scale of this building has been attempted or achieved.

Antony Wood - Executive Director, CTBUH

One Central Park strongly points the way forward, not only for an essential naturalization of our built environment, but for a new aesthetic for our cities – an aesthetic entirely appropriate to the environmental challenges of our age.

Antony Wood - Executive Director, CTBUH

Its vegetated systems are more than ‘green bling’ and provide new habitat for flora and fauna, improve building thermal efficiency, improve air quality, harvest storm water, provide biophilia, reduce noise pollution and mitigate the impacts of urban heat island effects.

Matthew Dillon - Chairman, World Green Infrastructure Congress 2014

One Central Park represents the very best of urban living and demonstrates that density and height can provide dynamic, cosmopolitan environments that many people are keen to live in.
