New Olympia House 3/3 The revitalised building features new additions including a platform lift to improve accessibility and a new public entrance defined by a large sculptural metal tower called the Beacon, a nod to the adjacent Bridgeton Umbrella. “Previously, the dark, dingy, gated side lane was a negative space that the building turned its back to,” said project architect Ross Cameron. “This has been transformed, with New Olympia House now embracing the lane with large glazed openings and a new main entrance, providing dual aspect, natural light and ventilation to the work spaces. This move is signified by the new lightweight metal ‘Beacon’ that infills the missing piece of the street elevation, and sits in dialogue with the decorative metal work of the Bridgeton Umbrella."
