<h1>Sizzle Café, ANU</h1>Sizzle Café, at The Australian National University (ANU), is characterised by clean polished lines. Porcelain tiles, stainless steel and marble materials create a pleasing Café environment. The dining room combines lounges and booths with tables and chairs that spill out through bi-fold doors to a relaxed outdoor area. Timber beams to the ceiling were used to add warmth and a pleasant environment, while feature walls and false windows add interesting depth to the space.<h1>Parkway Church, Kambah</h1> Creative was chosen to rebuild the Church on a new site in Kambah, after all seven buildings of the New Creation Ministries Centre at Holder were devastated by the firestorm. The new structural steel Church was built and clad with rendered foam panels, to resemble sandstone blocks, and custom-orb cladding. The composite sandwich roof-system was used to span across the large open space in the auditorium, replacing the ceiling with a white Colorbond finish on the underside of the panels. The building is heated by an in-slab gas hydronic piping system. The same system is used to cool the building using large underground tanks, storing cool water. The cool tank water can also be pumped onto the building\'s roof creating an evaporative cooling effect as it flows across the roof and returns to the tank via the stormwater drainage system.<h1>Star Q, Queanbeyan</h1>Limited space and an extremely tight deadline presented many challenges and technical hitches when designing this restaurant. Creative had to be mindful of the existing businesses operating either side of Star Q from beginning to end. All difficulties were overcome with careful planning, Creative thinking and an out of hours work schedule. A blend of interesting materials, and streamlined finishes has resulted in an edgy, relaxed environment.<h1>Helen King Hearing Centre, Kingston</h1>Located on the tranquil Kingston Foreshore, The Helen King Hearing Centre houses what was, previously six separate clinics across Canberra. The design had to be multi-functional to cater for all administration, assembly and adjustments to hearing aids, as well as sound booths for hearing testing. Creative made practical and inventive use of every metre available. Frosted glazing to office partitions allowed natural light to flow through the centre. All joinery was made in Jarrah or white to bring in warmth whilst maintaining a fresh, crisp interior.<h1>Equinox Business Park, Deakin</h1> This master-planned Business Park comprises of five separate office buildings and a unique central amenities building.

The living areas within the residential units cleverly reflect a sense of space and light flowing from room to room.

Ecoply, feature-steel and mini orb have been used to add character and style to the overall building.<h1>55 Wentworth Ave, Kingston</h1> This Greenstar building defines environmental design.
