South 32 Fitout - Enex 100
Link has carried out the mechanical services design for South 32’s new HQ at Enex100.

Cockburn Quarter
It is not often we have the ability to influence a Masterplan, however working together with Perron Group, Buchan and IPS Link was able to assist in the 20-year vision of Cockburn Quarter.
Link provided input prior to the DA assisting to resolve sustainability considerations for the mixed-use development consisting of retail, commercial, hotels and apartments. Additionally, Link provided mechanical services spatial advice to Buchan to inform appropriate massing and achieve project objectives including optimised building layouts for maximised natural sunlight.
The $1 billion development intends to create a connecting urbanscape where people can live, work, rest and play.
Lodge Wadjemup
Led by Place Development, the project will see the existing site transformed into a 109-room resort offering a range of mixed accommodation types and amenity including guest pool, dining yard + bar for all Island visitors and street-facing kiosk.

Exchange, Curtin University
Link has been awarded the design contract for this exciting precinct, working for MPM Group as the Design and Construct mechanical services contractor engaged to Probuild Constructions. Link was actively involved in providing Value Engineering assistance during initial tender / pricing phases of the project, working closely with the incumbent design consultant to ensure compliance with the PPR.
The $ 220m “industry-connected innovation precinct” consists of three towers, generally with interconnected lower ground / basement level. The precinct includes almost 950 student accommodation rooms including support services such as floor-by floor common rooms, games rooms and 400-person dining hall. In addition, some 3,000 m2 of retail space is included to provide activation of the hub.
In addition to the mixed-use retail and accommodation aspects, the development includes circa 60 guest rooms, 40 short stay apartments and around 4000 m2 of teaching / educational space.
The development, due for completion around August 2020, is targeting a 5 Star Green Star Design and As-Built rating together with the aspirational 6 Star Communities rating demonstrating Curtin and their trade partners continuing commitment to sustainability.
