The centrepiece of the vibrant Notting Dale campus, The Yellow Building is both a west landmark and home to iconic British fashion brand Monsoon.

Designed by renowned architect practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), this multi-award-winning building is known for its bold sunflower yellow stripes. Timeless and charismatic, yellow has long been a favourite choice amongst graphic and fashion designers, artists, engineers and architects.

But the drama does not end at the door. Making clever use of diagonal concrete grids that provide structural rigidity without the need for supporting cores, AHMM created a seven-storey-high atrium with exposed concrete interior that gives the Yellow Building a cathedral-like air. The effect is heightened by an open staircase that runs the length of the building and finished off by Monsoon’s spectacular contemporary art collection, which includes a full-sized mirrored carousel.

The internal spaces have been designed to maximise connections between staff, with large, unobstructed floors that span either side of the linear atrium, allowing light to penetrate deep into the building. Each floor features a generous landing that is perfect as an informal art gallery or meeting space.

In keeping with the area’s artisanal past, Nicholas Road is set to be transformed in 2019 with the introduction of a brand-new public sculpture park. Dotted along a newly-pedestrianised, tree-lined avenue, eight stunning pieces of public art will join Alex Da Cunha’s MIX (2012) – a monumental work comprising a reclaimed lorry mixer drum on a poured concrete plinth. The piece was commissioned by the Monsoon Art Collection and is on display outside the Yellow Building.

This urban campus will also feature a new F & B offer on the ground floor of The George Building with external seating spilling out into the grassy areas with full WIFI access, creating an inspiring outdoor working space and a quiet spot to unwind. A purpose-built self- contained 5,000 sq ft gym will be making the White Building home with a mixture of exercise and relaxation classes.

Just around the corner on Olaf Street, art lovers will find the Frestonian Gallery, located in the gorgeous Victorian redbrick People’s Hall. Best known as a focal point for the Republic of Frestonia in the 1970s and 1980s, the hall became a creative hub for writers, artists, musicians and cultural activists. Thirty years later, the Frestonian Gallery continues to channel a little bit of this remarkable community’s rebellious freedom of expression.
