EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Located in the heart of Darwin’s city centre, The Charles Darwin Centre is destined to take centre stage in the city’s transformation as the fastest growing business hub for Northern Australia and beyond to the Asia Pacific. Lettable areas range from 1053m2 for full floor occupations down to 433m2 for a dedicated podium floor; each offers commanding uninterrupted harbour and park views, a rare opportunity for staff members to enjoy.
BUILDING THE FUTURE This building is the vision of the Paspaley Pearling Company in collaboration with internationally renowned architects Pei Cobb Freed & Partners who are well-known for buildings such as the Louvre and the corporate headquarters of IMF. Pei Cobb Freed & Partners balance new with old to create a design statement for the heart of Darwin. Commissioned by Paspaley Pearls Properties as the Group’s headquarters, The Charles Darwin Centre will exemplify the highest quality standards that have become synonymous with the Paspaley name. It is anticipated that The Charles Darwin Centre will become Darwin’s iconic address for organisations sharing Paspaley’s passion for the region’s future.
PEI COBB FREED & PARTNERS Since its formation in 1955, Pei Cobb Freed & Partners (formerly I. M. Pei & Partners) has completed nearly 250 projects in over one hundred cities across North America and around the world. The firm’s clients include major corporations, private developers, and public authorities, as well as educational, cultural, and religious institutions. Its projects have received more than two hundred major design awards. Among its best known works are the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, the expansion and modernisation of the Louvre museum in Paris, and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Within the great diversity of building types that the firm has explored is an extensive collection of tall buildings, including the John Hancock Tower in Boston, Library Tower in Los Angeles, Torre Espacio in Madrid, and the recently completed Palazzo Lombardia in Milan, named 2012 Best Tall Building Europe by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

ARCHITECTS STATEMENT Charles Darwin Centre is located on a key site in Darwin at the intersection of Bennett Street and the Smith Street Mall, an important crossroads of the Darwin CBD across from the landscaped open space of State Square.
The tower is clad in painted metallic panels and high-performance glass, with projecting horizontal sunshades that reduce energy consumption as part of the overall sustainable design approach, aimed at achieving a NABERS 5-star rating.
This L-shaped building site has equal frontage on Bennett Street, on the city’s major vehicular approaches, and the Smith Street Mall, a major pedestrian route that links the commercial heart of the CBD to the recently transformed Darwin Waterfront. Located at the southern edge of downtown, the building will be a prominent feature on the Darwin skyline, with panoramic views of the Harbour, while serving as a symbolic gateway from all approaches.
There are several entry points under generous canopies and two entry points at ground level, one for vehicle drop-off along Bennett Street and one for pedestrian entry along The Mall. At ground level, the lens shape recedes from the corner of Bennett Street and The Mall, creating an open space for the original arched heritage colonnade of the former Commercial Bank of Australia, which will be preserved and integrated into a new retail pavilion.
Our proposal for this site is an iconic lens-shaped tower of 21 stories, fronting on Bennett Street and rising to a height of 83 metres, containing office space on floor plates of approximately 1,200 square metres. The lens shape is a key feature of the design and will offer generous panoramic views of the waterfront while giving Darwin a unique sculptural form on its skyline. The building is sited to take advantage of its curved form, with its slender eastern prow facing The Mall. This minimises its presence on the low-scale, pedestrian-oriented development of The Mall while providing a dramatic view of the prow from either end of Bennett Street.
Additional retail space is provided further along The Mall and on the corner of Bennett Street and West Lane. In conjunction with the entries to the tower, the entire length of Bennett Street, The Mall, and a portion of West Lane will be activated by entries, store fronts, and pedestrian-oriented uses that will offer a lively streetscape. A structured, aboveground five-level parking deck flanks the tower to the northwest. The parking deck has been designed to sit set back from The Mall, so the primary presences are one-storey storefronts, in keeping with the scale of the adjacent Victoria Hotel.
We believe the design of the Charles Darwin Centre will create a unique and inviting environment for the city of Darwin, one that will speak to its special place in the urban fabric and be a welcoming presence for the city’s residents and visitors. Yvonne Szeto, Partner Pei Cobb Freed & Partners
