Woodhead Project Experience
QT Hotel Sydney is a fusion of two iconic heritage buildings,
the State Theatre Building which is listed on the State Heritage Register and the Gowings Building which is locally listed. ”
11
Beyond the Master Architects role, Woodhead also led the
back of house interior design, together with the restoration and
interpretation of the heritage lobbies and the interface areas
together with coordinating the interface between all consultants
and two interior designers, Nic Graham for the public areas and
Indyk for guest room interiors.
The hotel comprises:
− 196 designer guest rooms including eight rooms with disabled
access — on levels 3 to 10 in the State Theatre building, and
levels 4 to 11 of the Gowings building.
− Lobby area accessed through the existing State Theatre Building
lobby recreates aspects of the original lobby space and maintain
the Art Deco and Gothic styles.
− A new external connection between the buildings joins the two
‘wings’ of the hotel, a heritage sensitive access link over the
Gowings Laneway.
Woodhead was engaged as Master Architect to lead the design
team through a truly collaborative two year process. QT Hotel
Sydney is a fusion of two iconic heritage buildings, the State
Theatre Building which is listed on the State Heritage Register and
the Gowings Building which is locally listed. This complex project
with historically differing uses and construction led to unique
and signifi cant challenges in terms of connectivity structurally,
architecturally and in terms of the resultant interior spaces.
The success of the project is the collaboration between the
heritage architect and the cooperation of a creative builder (Built).
Woodhead commitment to a consistent design team through
the entire design and construction process, resulting successful
collaboration with Graham Brooks and Associates - heritage
consultants, and Sydney City Council’s Senior Heritage Specialist.
This dedicated team had to remain fl exible providing immediate
responses to the discovery of original heritage detailing, artefacts
and past documents. This fl exibility has leveraged the entire
design team to create a richer outcome.
With heritage buildings, let alone two, there is always the
unexpected, which can cause delight or frustrations. Earthquake
proofi ng a steel framed, stone clad building of heritage
signifi cance had its complexities. Services reticulation and power
supply was never going to be easy. Recreating façade mounted
knights, gargoyle and other sculptures, not seen for over 60
years was always going to be an interesting but fun challenge. All
this has been achieved while the State Theatre has remained in
continuous operation.

With the offi cial opening in September 2012, QT Sydney is the fi rst new fi ve-star hotel to be built in the Sydney CBD in over a decade.

The design concept for the hotel has evolved from an initial
contemporary boutique approach to include some of the more
traditional Suzhou elements. In the renovation design, Woodhead
sought to capture some of Suzhou’s cultural distinctiveness,
re-interpret the forms, adopt patterns in the contemporary ways
and apply these concepts to the architecture and interiors for the
building.
Overlaid on this cultural base, the design is a fashionable
and indulgent sensibility that adds a high quality boutique and
whimsical element to the schemes for the public spaces and guest
rooms.

Woodhead was recommended by Australian-based StayWell Hospitality Group, one of Asia Pacifi c’s largest independently owned hotel management companies, to design its fi rst Park Regis branded property in South East Asia.
This new hotel development is opposite the bustling entertainment
and restaurant area of Clarke Quay and only fi ve hundred meters
from the main banking and corporate precinct of Raffl es Place.
Opened in November 2010, Woodhead designed the full scope of
the interiors for the 203-room, 4-star business and leisure hotel,
and the public areas of the adjacent offi ce tower.
The 7-storey hotel includes an all-day dining facility, lounge bar
and a 25 metre lap pool that overlooks Clarke Quay. The gym,
business centre and roof top bar is located in the 3-storey focal
point between the hotel and offi ce towers. The design concept of
the Park Regis Hotel is “Contemporary City Resort” and features
natural materials, exudes elegance, and makes subtle references
to the richness and colour of the Chinese culture and heritage of
the area.
The hotel rooms are quite small being a new inner city hotel. To
maximise the feeling of spaciousness, the traditional bathroom
walls have been removed, allowing clever integration of the vanity
bench to include mini-bar and coffee facilities on the room side
with bathroom and toiletries on the bathroom side. The shower
and toilet provide privacy as translucent glazed cubicles. The
vanity mirror from the ceiling to the vanity top provides an artwork

04Our Commitment
Woodhead Process
Environmental Management System
Woodhead’s Environmental Management System (EMS) aims
to reduce the environmental impacts that may result from our
operations and from the projects we design.
Our EMS has been tailored around our existing ISO 9001 Quality
Assurance system, and focuses primarily on actions needed to
address our Climate Friendly commitment. We look forward to
achieving fi nal EMS ISO 14001:2004 certifi cation shortly.
Green Building Codes
As an inaugural and continuing member of the Green Building
Council of Australia, Woodhead continue to be actively involved
in the creation of Australia’s fi rst Green Star rating tools. In fact
we were using similar rating tools on projects even before the
creation of the GBCA, and we now support the GBCA in all their
endeavours.
Woodhead is committed to maintaining Green Star Accredited
Professionals within each studio and at leadership level across the
group. In addition our team has the knowledge and skills to work
with and apply NABERS energy rating requirements and relevant
Government and Defence sustainability guidelines.
Greenhouse Impacts from Projects
Our core service is in the delivery of world-class design. The built
environment has a signifi cant impact on global warming and
water use, and we believe that we can drive positive change in our
industry, ultimately to the point where sustainable development is
part of the solution to global warming.
Our Climate commitment objectives have been incorporated
into our design process, whereby every project is assessed for
sustainable benefi ts and outcomes. These outcomes are balanced
between environmental, social and economic benefi ts.
Environmental Sustainability and InnovationWoodhead Thought Leadership
Our responsibility as architects and designers extends beyond the completion of construction as we focus upon the lifecycle of a building. This is refl ected in our commitment to environmental, social and economic sustainability.
59
WOODHEAD ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Woodhead are increasingly raising the sustainability value in all
of our projects – we believe that every client should benefi t from
improved building performance, improved user comfort, and
reduced environmental risk.
Woodhead ‘ESD Performance Targets’
The ESD Performance Targets work together with a defi ned set
of ‘ESD Essential Requirements’ to capture additional initiatives
to lower the overall environmental impact of the building during
design, construction and operation.
Energy
− Achieve a 20% improvement on the minimum energy effi cient
performance requirements using either one of the Verifi cation
Methods (Stated Values or Reference Building) described in
Section J of the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
− The 20% improvement target is generally consistent with the
minimum 4.5 star NABERS rating for commercial offi ce buildings.
− A building meeting the minimum BCA energy effi ciency
requirements should achieve an approximate 3 star NABERS
rating.
− A 4.5 star NABERS rating represents an approximate 20% to 25%
improvement compared to a 3 star building.
Water
− Achieve a 30% reduction in potable water consumption compared
to a design reference building.
− NSW: the residential planning scheme (BASIX) sets a water target
of 40% reduction compared to average water consumption. This
is calculated using a complex web based database.
− The simple method for calculating the water target is described in
the Defence Water Target Calculation Methodology document.
Materials
During demolition and construction works at least 70% of all
waste by weight (except hazardous materials) should be either
reused or recycled. Recorded by the contractor each month:
− weight of all waste leaving the site;
− weight of waste that was recycled/reused (i.e. not sent to landfi ll);
and
− destination and/or name of recycler/waste hauler.
Soil stockpiled on site for reuse as fi ll shall not be counted in the
calculation of waste. The defi nition and calculation of waste shall
be in accordance with the current Green Star Technical Manual.
Woodhead has developed a set of ‘ESD Performance Targets’
that are quantifi able measures relating to the assessment and design resolution of energy, water and materials in our projects.
Example ESD Essential Requirements
Energy
Appliances shall meet the following minimum energy effi cient
ratings;
− Dishwasher: 3.5 stars
− Refrigerator: 4 stars
− Washing machine: 4 stars
− dryer: 2.5 stars
− Domestic air-conditioner: 4.5 stars for cooling
− Hot water systems shall have solar pre-boost with the system
sized to provide a solar contribution of at least 50% of total annual
hot water energy consumption. Where natural gas or LPG is
available to the site the hot water system shall be gas boosted.
Water
All taps, toilet, showers and appliances shall have a minimum AAA
rating or equivalent star rating.
Materials
− All refrigerants and insulation shall have an Ozone Depletion
Potential (ODP) of zero.
− All timbers shall be sourced from either post consumer reused
timber or from plantations complying with the Australian Forestry
Standard.
− All internal paints shall be low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
(g/litre).
− No PVC products shall be used in fl oor coverings (unless there is
no other alternative).
− A dedicated storage area shall be provided to allow segregation
and collection of recyclable waste generated during occupancy of
the building.
BIM CommitmentWoodhead Thought Leadership
Building: An information rich digital prototyped building.
Information: Addition and inclusion of valuable building information to the model.
Modelling: Form and function with pre-planned intent.
Woodhead is committed to the continual improvement and up-
skilling of our team with the latest documentation and visualisation
technology. Our teams are fl uent in CAD and BIM authoring and
coordination technology, specialist graphic design and publication
packages and traditional administration processing tools.
The implementation of BIM (Building Information Modelling) tools
and processes have made it possible to better streamline work
fl ows throughout a building’s life-cycle, from concept /schematic
design to model integration of design and construction models to
facilitating the management of maintenance and decommissioning
information of the built asset.
BIM tools and processes enable our team to reduce risk, retain
design intent and better ensure the client interest is maintained
throughout the project. This also helps streamline quality control
and provides a higher level of coordination between consultants.
The processes adopted and the generation of coordinated models
facilitates clear communication between all project stakeholders
which in turn provides access to a wider range of analytic tools
thereby better addressing our clients specifi c needs.
At Woodhead, the adoption of BIM tools and processes is now our
predominant and preferred method of workfl ow thereby ensuring
quality solutions for our clients.
Our BIM technology enables our teams to:
− Reduce risk particularly in the bid phase of the project
− Retain design intent throughout the project
− Streamline quality control
− Provide design and construction certainty between consultant
disciplines
− Reduce confl icts on site through clash detection and
comprehensive scheduling and data reporting during the design
process.

WOODHEAD QUALITY AND TECHNICAL CAPABILITY
BIM lessons we have learned
− Technology... BIM is a process with effi ciencies available through
planning of clear workfl ow practices and procedures.
− Modelling may incur more up front costs, yet;
− The integrated model can provide a greater level of control all
round.
− There is value in working with Contractors as Consultants,
however not all procurement processes will support this.
− Getting the right team is an issue for all projects. With BIM
implementation selecting the right team is essential. BIM is only
as effective as the most ineffective link.
− The level of service is superior to that of traditional service
provision and therefore of greater value to the Client.
