各方面都非常明顯，該設計方案的目標是建立一個與碼頭藝術大廳互補的標志性建筑，并建立一個通向整個蘭尼昂廣場的入口。如果您把音樂廳當作是指揮，而所有周圍的建筑是樂團，則我們設計的建筑就是“獨唱者”。

設計的目的是通過地點改善人行道，并遮擋從西南方向吹來的風。

建筑共有五層，共計10 500平方米，屋頂有植物栽培室，風帆頂板穿過碼頭藝術大廳的欄桿。作為一個投機性的項目，一樓將包括商業或綜合用途的設施，而二樓以上是A類商業辦公室。

建筑的構想是，通過一樓的通透性吸引公眾，這個概念的功能體現在西南/東北軸線所劃分的商場，即與位于音樂大廳入口、圣喬治大樓入口及位于牛津街對面角落的維多利亞市場連成一排。在該拱形商場內幾座小橋被與連接兩層樓面的平面玻璃圈圍。根據設想，該商場將成為建筑的“心臟”，人們可以悠閑從容地通過，同時可以容納辦公室入口，也可以排列開設咖啡館、小酒館和畫廊等。

一樓及頂樓的外立面設計朝后，以突出第二、三、四樓的外觀。金屬水平條紋突顯西面和南面外墻的水平狀態。從而這種水平狀態被外表面的許多“眼睛”——樓板框架的空隙所打破，其目的則是要在員工與社交之間創造開放的空間。

碼頭藝術大廳用放射狀向外延伸的“手臂”來闡明這個意圖，這些手臂的“拳頭”向外沖出通過外墻向東西方延伸，與碼頭藝術大廳相連接。

獨立欄桿的風帆屋頂與外立面的水平狀態形成了鮮明的對比。

Highly visible from all sides, the objective of the scheme is to create a landmark building that complements Waterfront hall, and establishes an entrance to the overall Lanyon Place site. If you consider the concert hall to be the conductor, and all the buildings around to be the orchestra, then think of building we have designed as the 'Soloist'.

The design has been developed to enhance pedestrian routes through the site, and shield the site from South Westerly winds.

The building consists of five storeys of accommodation, 10 500 m2 with a plant room on the roof, with the over sailing roof lining through with the parapet of Waterfront Hall. As a speculative development it is proposed that the ground fl oor will consist of commercial or mixed use accommodation, whilst the upper fl oors will consist of category A commercial of fi ce use.

The building was conceived to allow public permeability through the ground fl oor, and this concept is now re fl ected in the feature arcade that splits through the building on a south-west / north-east axis lining up with entrance to the concert hall with the entrance to St Georges, a victorian market on the opposite corner of Oxford Street. Within the arcade several bridges enclosed within a bowl of planar glazing unite the two fl oor plates. It is envisaged that the arcade will become the 'heart' of the building allowing people to pass through at their leisure, whilst also accommodating of fi ce entrances and possibility to be lined with cafes,bistros and galleries etc.

The facades of the ground and fourth (top) fl oors are set back to accentuate the main facade of the second,third and fourth fl oors. The horizontality of the west and south facades are accentuated by horizontal bands of metal. This horizontality is then broken up by a series of 'eyes' in the facade that frame the voids in the fl oor plates behind which are designed to create break-out spaces where employees and socialise.

The plan is articulated by a series of 'arms' that radiate out from Waterfront Hall, with the 'fi sts' of these arms punching through the facades to the east and west facades, engaging with Waterfront Hall.

An over sailing roof, sitting on its own free standing columns, contrasts against the horizontality of the facades.
