Architects HBO+EMTB designed a new 1000 car capacity multi-deck car park at Penrith Station.

The team at HBO+EMTB noted "The rectilinear shaped building features a striking façade which has taken cues from the nearby Blue Mountains. The design team took inspiration from the shapes and colours of the eucalyptus tree by referencing the many colours of the leaf throughout its life cycle. The façade is made of perforated powder coated aluminium, while the main structure is formed using a pre-stressed concrete system which facilitates exceptionally large spans."

Fabricator Aambianz specialises in sun control, ventilation and balustrade systems for the construction industry. Aambianz's engineering team gave this concept shape and, using its state of the art manufacturing facility in South Western Sydney, fabricated the leaves and paps which when combined provided the final feature of the façade.

AAF NSW powdercoated the intricate perforated screens and utilising unique pre-treatments systems were able to provide a 15 year warranty on this project.
