Key Features

Large-Scale Distribution Warehouse

At the centre of the development is a 10,500m² ESFR-sprinklered warehouse designed to provide substantial operational capacity.

Two internal amenity cores of approximately 159m² and 110m² provide dedicated facilities for warehouse staff.

Safety line marking and metalwork were incorporated to support the safe movement of people and vehicles throughout the operational environment.

Designed for Efficient Operation

A number of passive and active design initiatives were incorporated into the development.

Strategically positioned roller doors support natural ventilation and cross-flow air movement through the warehouse, while translucent roof sheeting introduces daylight into the building and reduces reliance on artificial lighting during appropriate conditions.

A solar PV system provides renewable electricity generation as part of the facility's broader sustainability initiatives.

Within the office, high-performance glazing and LED lighting complement the building's energy-conscious design.

Contemporary Workplace Environment

The dual-level main office provides a contemporary corporate environment alongside the warehouse operations.

A combination of CFC cladding and extensive glazing creates a distinctive external appearance while maximising natural light within the office.

Internally, the facility incorporates:

• High-specification finishes
• LED lighting
• High-performance glazing
• Low-VOC joinery
• Indoor planting
• Breakout spaces
• Personal staff lockers
• End-of-trip facilities

This combination provides an important contrast between the scale and functionality of the warehouse and the quality of the adjoining workplace environment.

A Distinctive Industrial Identity

The Red Dot Distribution Centre demonstrates that large industrial buildings don't need to be purely utilitarian.

The road-facing elevation incorporates a native mural created by local artists, providing a distinctive visual feature and giving the large-scale industrial development a stronger connection to its setting.

The contemporary office façade combines glazed areas with CFC cladding, creating a recognisable corporate entrance to the development.
