The Melbourne Southbank, Triptych building was designed in conjunction with Cundall, with the design of the apartment complex including natural cross-flow ventilation, co-generation, water harvesting, ‘low e’ double glazed windows and sustainable flooring material.
Chief Executive of the Green Building Council of Australia, Romilly Madew, commented: “While WA already has some ‘green icons’, such as 2 Victoria Avenue and the GPO Building Refurbishment in Perth, as well as local government leadership from councils such as the City of Gosnells, more work is needed for WA to compete with the rest of Australia in the sustainability stakes.”
Dr Pitman has previously undertaken design roles on numerous high profile projects in
Western Australia including the 6-star Green Star Durack 2, the 5-star Green Star 140
William Street, Fiona Stanley Hospital, the Northbridge-link masterplan and the Port Oakajee development.
His experience in sustainability is seen as a perfect fit with Cundall as the business seeks to evolve further into a specialist sustainability consultancy focused on driving collaborative innovation and knowledge sharing throughout the industry.
Aside from his new role with Cundall, Dr Pitman continues to own and operate ODS Engineering, a business which develops software for energy efficient building design, while also lecturing in Building Science in the Architecture Department at Curtin University.
