Brisbane, Australia
Perhaps the best four words to describe Brisbane’s premium office building 180 Brisbane. KONE’s unique people flow solutions complement 180 Brisbane’s exclusive and distinctive appearance.
Exclusivity of its construction was top priority for 180 Brisbane’s Japanese developers the Daisho Group. So the brief for KONE was very clear - Daisho didn’t want anything in 180 Brisbane that could be seen in another building. Hence, everything was custom-made, from the onyx ceilings in the lift cars to bespoke Destination Control System (DCS), Destination Operating Panel (DOP), and pedestals with LED lighting and elevator identifiers on the ground floor. And to achieve this high level of customisation, a great deal of emphasis was placed on design and prototypes. For instance, 14 air conditioned, gearless passenger elevators were designed with premium stone and metallic finish, rarely seen in commercial offices.
“I’m extremely proud of its uniqueness and the fact that KONE used custom elements to set it apart from other more standard builds,” - Ikuo Morito, Daisho Project Director.
Apart from masterfully integrating striking architectural design, smart technology, and comprehensive amenity for tenants, Brisbane 180 is also exceptionally high on environmental sustainability. It has been awarded a 6 Star Greenstar Office rating, making it the first building in Brisbane to achieve this level of environmental accreditation.
