    Bendigo Bank commissioned BVN Architecture and Gray Puksand to design their new corporate headquarters in Bendigo, consolidating five locations into a single central facility. The building was designed as a low-rise campus surrounded by public spaces like a new public square and boardwalk along the creek to encourage interaction. Special attention was paid to the interior work environment with large floorplates connected by atriums to flood the space with natural light. The exterior uses colored perforated sunscreens and a sawtooth north-facing roof to reduce harsh sunlight while giving the building a dynamic form.

    BENDIGO BANK HEADQUARTERS

    BENDIGO, VIC
    COMPLETED 2008
    Bendigo Bank commissioned BVN Architecture and Gray Puksand to design the corporate headquarters in Bendigo to house over
    1,000 staff. The brief for the building and integrated fitout coalesces 5 current locations into one central facility. As the site is located
    centrally in Bendigo in a heritage precinct we developed a new masterplan to integrate the building into the existing context. In
    keeping with The Banks community values, a new series of lanes cross the site and connect the Bath Lane community into the
    development. Public interaction is encouraged with retail facilities at ground level and extensive public spaces, including a new
    public square giving the building a new address to the mall precinct. A board walk has been developed along the existing creek
    edge. The timber board walk links the traditional rear elevation of surrounding buildings to provide a large public connection for the
    bath lane community.

    In the development of the project a strong emphasis has been placed on creating a workplace to support the culture and aspirations
    of The Bank. The building has been designed as a low rise campus, creating large floor plates connected by atriums that flood the
    interior work environment in natural light.

    The buildings exterior has been designed to respond to the individual orientation of each façade. The major façade to the west is
    adorned with coloured perforated aluminium

    sunscreens. The sunscreens reduce the harsh western sun and provide a visually stimulating reading of the building. The palate of
    colours represents the reds of the existing Bendigo brick buildings transitioning to the greens of the park opposite. A saw tooth roof
    is orientated to the north and maximises the internal daylight while providing a dynamic form to the buildings skyline.

    An extension to the commission was undertaken to incorporate artistic elements into the urban landscape surrounding the building.
    The lyric square interpretive art installation references the historic past of the site over the last two centuries culminating in the Lyric
    Theatre dramatically burnt down in 1968. A series of plinths display text by Local Historian Edith Lun, describing the past lives of the
    site.
