Woodside Plaza
Woodside Plaza is a 29-storey skyscraper in Perth, Western Australia. The 137-meter (450 ft) tower serves as the headquarters for Woodside Petroleum and incorporates several energy-efficient design features. When completed in 2004, the building was the first premium-grade skyscraper completed in Perth since Central Park in 1992.
The tower was designed by architects Kann Finch Group. It features 251 basement car parking bays, a bar on the ground floor, shops, a 120-seat auditorium on the mezzanine level and a fully-equipped gym. The structure is of concrete frame, with a conventionally-reinforced jump-formed core containing all of the lifts, stairs and service risers. The office floors are formed from post-tensioned band beams supporting conventional reinforced slabs. The perimeter of the building has columns spaced 8.2 meters (27 ft) apart and supporting post-tensioned edge beams. The support columns were formed from 80 MPa (12,000 psi) concrete to minimize the column size at ground level.
It has two basement levels, two plant floor levels, 23 office floor levels, a mezzanine and the ground floor, giving a total of 29 floors. The building has a total floor area of 77,000 m2 (830,000 sq ft), of which 46,000 m2 (500,000 sq ft) is lettable. The building is divided into three elevator zones: low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise. Four generators and a 60,000-liter (78 cu yd) fuel tank allow the tower to operate without any external electricity for up to four days.
