The new Novartis HQ campus in Sydney, designed by HDR | Rice Daubney, will consolidate the company's existing four Australian offices into one, state-of-the-art location. Spanning six story's and more than 107,000 sqf (10,000 sqm), the building consists of a highly transparent rectangular "glass box" perched on the side of the slopping site and contrasted by sinuous curved timber and aluminum forms that anchor the development. The design is a translation of the Novartis brand, which is grounded in fact-based science—represented by the glass box—and a mission of Caring and Curing—signified by the soft curved timber structures that act as both the physical and emotional core of the building.
