The facility comprises part three, part four to part 6 storey building over a single level basement, onto a main arterial Circular Road. The development extends to 5,820m2 overall gross floor area and it included the part demolition, part retention and refurbishment of the existing Big Tree Public house. The conservation and restoration of this structure, which included the existing basement but also extended to provide a new fourth storey, with hotel accommodation provided within this additional structure. The project involved extensive mechanical and electrical installations and high-quality finishes both internally and externally all of which required careful coordination and design development at the early stage of the construction process.
