Lismore Distribution Warehouse & Office

Introduction

The developers required the construction of a new storage and distribution warehouse and offices for Norco Rural Stores, adjacent to the existing rural store facility in South Lismore. The site is identified as flood-prone, requiring the entire site to be elevated above the flood planning level. Access to the double storey administrative office at the front of the building necessitated the inclusion of an access lift at the ground level foyer to provide access to the main floor above the flood level. Elements of the existing rural store building were incorporated in the new building façade as a way of unifying the two sites in a single use.
