The Goods Shed North - Docklands Melbourne

In a publicity statement, VicUrban declared, “The relocation to the Goods Shed North… is a practical example of the Commissions’ commitment to innovation and sustainability in the building and plumbing industry and the preparedness to take a leading role in the sustainable refurbishment of an historical building in an area of urban renewal. “The Goods Shed North is a unique heritage building that naturally creates an exceptional backdrop to the workplace, including high ceilings, clerestory windows, exposed trusses, cast iron heritage columns and exposed brickwork.”

An active chilled beam system provides cooling and ventilation to the bulk of the building and is located throughout the Goods Shed North on both the mezzanine and ground floor levels, ensuring an energy efficient and quiet solution. Hydronic heating via skirting heaters located around the perimeter of the Goods Shed provides for additional heating.

300mm high Solazar wall mounted convectors, powder coated black were supplied by Hurlcon Hydronic Heating for the project. The choice of Solazars complementing the sustainable ethos of the building as well as the integrity of the architectural design, with the bonus of being a quality Australian made product.
