Construction has officially commenced on the Fender Katsalidis-designed build-to-rent (BTR) tower at Melbourne Quarter, with Lendlease and Daiwa House Australia delivering 797 residences in the heart of the transformational precinct.
When thinking about sustainable design, acoustics probably don’t come to mind, but depending on the build type, dampening noise pollution may be an important part of the brief. Taking this into consideration, Knauf has developed Stratopanel, an acoustic ceiling lining with built-in air purifying CLEANEO Technology. According to Knauf, used in the company’s perforated acoustic plasterboard range, the technology reduces both smells and airborne pollutants such as VOCs, improving overall air quality.
Bouygues Bâtiment International, a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, and partner Intrakat, broke ground recently on the Riviera Tower, a $360-million residential tower in Athens, Greece.
Cooling Brothers partnered with ABS Facades to supply UltraCool-E double glazed units as part of the main events area located at the northern end of the national award-winning building.
