Sydney, NSW
DTAC was contracted by FDC Construction for the recently completed ISPT George Place redevelopment project. The project unites three buildings in the heart of Sydney’s CBD: 345 and 363 George Street and the heritage-listed 24 York Street. The striking transformation of this impressive super lobby unites ground floor levels of the three buildings with the vision to create a unique precinct that offers meeting spaces, quiet zones, social hubs, food offerings and bars. George Place combines indigenous artwork, premium quality furnishings, natural materials and lighting to provide a welcoming and dynamic environment for work and leisure.
Yarras Edge
Docklands, VIC
As the access points to this stair are dictated by an enclosed landing design, that is, the approach to stair can not made from multiple directions, the TGSI area has been reduced to only 300mm deep top and bottom of flight and spread across the entire path of travel.
Additionally, as continuous unbroken handrails have been designed and installed all the way from the entry door to the exit door, TGSI’s are not required on the intermediate landing.
This is and excellent example of how TGSI’s can be minimised when they are considered as a part of stair design and not as an after thought.
No. 3 Station Pier
Melbourne, VIC
Had continuous unbroken handrails been used on the intermediate landing no. 2, no TGSI’s would not have been required. This would have reduced the amount of TGSI’s and facilitated better access to all persons, not just the visually impaired. Handrails also provide a safe message for the stair and should always be continuous where possible for a consistent message.
Mulgrave Country Club
Wheelers Hill, VIC
This project required a standard application of Warning TGSI’s to the top and bottom of the paths of travel between two levels of this entry. Two TGSI areas of 600mm by the width in between the path of travel (in this case in between the handrails) were employed to give a clear tactile cue for both the approach and the alighting from the stair and ramp. For further detail and information see AS/NZS 1428.4 (2002).
Melbourne City Council
Melbourne, VIC
This project details a shared vehicular driveway crossing an accessible path of travel where a motorist’s vision is limited. Because this vehicular driveway is part of a larger vehicular precinct, (e.g. car part or lane-way), and that the motorist’s vision is limited because of the adjacent property boundaries, warning indicators have been installed 300mm back from the kerb to a depth of 600mm across the entire length of the accessible path of travel.
The tactile pad has also been set back 300mm from the edge of property boundary all the path of travel. This is because a pedestrian would not walk that close to a wall or other easily identifiable natural tactile cue. The set back from the property boundary also allows cleaning accessibility as dirt and debris can gather in these types situations, especially on heavily trafficked environments.
Geraldine Cooper Interior Design
Melbourne, VIC
This project required a standard application of Warning TGSI’s to the top and bottom of the main stair. TGSI’s of 600mm by the width of the stairway (in this case between the handrails) were employed to give a clear tactile cue for both the approach and alighting from the stair.
