The project consists a large yard for road maintenance vehicles, sand and gravel storage in which are two buildings, one an office building, the other a maintenance and salt storage utility building, overlooking a new public park. The maintenance building is unheated and uninsulated, while the office building is a passively designed low energy naturally ventilated building. The office building is composed of three narrow floor plates stacked on top of each other, made entirely of timber. The maintenance building carries the concrete material used to form the 2.4 hectare service yard into extruded enclosures, which is roofed with a timber frame. Both buildings and the ancillary yard provide a combined facility for Council departments involved in the role of maintenance and environmental services. The yard will be mainly used to park vehicles associated with the maintenance department it also functions as a material storage and disposal facility. The three storey administration building houses the environmental department and uses passive energy sources and is a naturally ventilated work environment. The office building is accessible to the public and its positioning and orientation relate to the public parkland, formerly a landfill site.
