The facade consists of a series of triangular panels that are mounted on to the structural frame. Three cladding materials: sandstone, zinc (perforated and solid) and glass have been used, structured within a triangular pinwheel grid. The design uses five single triangles all of the same size and proportion to make up a self-similar triangular but of a larger scale.
This building is one of Melbourne's most well know landmarks, Federation Square. In July 1997, Lab architecture studio, in conjunction with Bates Smart, were awarded the design contract for Federation square.
