Asticus Building

[1] The building was designed by architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands with a cylindrical shape on a concrete frame in order to maximise light due to the proximity of nearby buildings.

[2] The nearby buildings, rising to up to seven storeys, made the site so difficult that it had remained undeveloped for 25 years despite its prime location.

A "blister" structure at the rear in a sheltered corner was used to house core services in order to maximise usable space and avoid an awkward floor layout.

[5] Outside the entrance is Tim Morgan's steel and glass sculpture Cypher (2004), one of three of that work.
