Ward Carter is currently engaged for the redevelopment of the former BUFS building in King Street, Bendigo. This exciting new projects consists of:
- Ground floor retail with coffee mezzanine at first floor
- First floor office space opening to external roof deck and
- Top floor apartment with 2 external decks
Incorporated are 20,000L of water storage as collected from the roof area for use as toilet flushing and watering of plants for the whole development and clothes washing for the apartment. Solar power generation has also been incorporated into the scheme.
The development is planned around a series of centrally located external decks that allow what would otherwise have been a deep building, to be naturally ventilated and provides ample access for natural light.
The project is seen as an exemplar for sustainable design on a small to medium scale mixed-use development for Bendigo and the surrounding region.
