ABOUT ELLIVO
Ellivo Architects are experienced commercial, mixed use and residential
Architects that have been working together with our local and national
clients for over fourteen years. We are passionate about design,
creative with the use of space, and ardent about achieving balance
between development goals and architectural outcomes.
To us, a great design is only valuable when it is delivered successfully as built form,
becomes available as usable space and provides an impressive yet functional interior.
We make it our priority to meet the needs of those who build, lease and buy so that
spaces are more than just aesthetically pleasing architecture.
Ellivo Architects are committed to applying environmentally sustainable solutions to
every scenario. In our studio, every design and selection is aligned to principles of
sustainability. Good environmental design begins with the first principles of orientation
and understanding of a site. And creating vibrant, successful places is equally import to
creating good architecture.
We pride ourselves on “designing success” whereby the success embedded in the
Architectural design includes being financially viable, and socially and environmentally
sustainable. We consider the design fundamentals to include flexibility for future growth
and change with little impact, and combine this with understanding commercial reality
and design innovation.
We also use Intelligent 3D technologies to help clients and key stakeholders, such as
councils, to better understand the often complex ideas, sites and spatial arrangements.

Ellivo Architects primarily focuses on working with clients in the corporate and
development areas of the industry. Our expertise is in;
URBAN FORM ARCHITECTURE
This is our approach and term for the 3D master planning process. We utilise our
commercial and residential skills to quickly resolve and inform the master planning
process through 3D models. We do this by “testing” individual sites, to assess their
commercial viability, and adherence to the aims of the master plan vision.
COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL / MIXED USE
OUR SERVICES
Our work in these areas ranges from Greenstar office towers, sub regional mixed use
shopping centres, boutiques retail villages and offices parks.
MULTI UNIT RESIDENTIAL
Multi-unit residential projects have been the backbone of our design expertise since
the studio was established. Our residential experience includes several luxury “one per
floor “apartments, investor driven developments, medium density aged care and short
stay accommodation. Several recent projects have been specifically tailored to the
need of students.
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
Our Interior Design team works both in parallel with the Architectural teams, and
independently on commercial and residential fit-outs. The interior design team has
over fourteen years experience in Commercial fit-outs, Multi-residential and residential
design, retail design, marketing packages and delivery of FF&E packages.
Over the fourteen years we have gained experience in fit-outs for clothing stores,
hairdressers, beauty salons, IGA deli’s, Furniture showrooms, bars, cafes, RSL clubs,
gaming facilities and cinema fit-outs.

WORKING ON YOUR PROJECT
Our years of experience have allowed us to build the process
that we want to be a part of, and remove the barriers that often
stand between creativity and corporate decision-making. Our
approach is personal to you and your project.
We guide our clients through a well-practiced program in step by step manor,
driving value for money into their projects up front and optimising their design at
logical review points.
We recognize that every client’s needs are unique, and every project different,
however the steps in the delivery of a successful design process rarely change.
Instead of changing our process every time, we spend our time understanding
the needs of the stakeholders, and their companies and addressing the time lines
and constraints that will allow for a successful design and functional building.
Our success is linked to the capability and skill set of the consultant team. We
enjoy the process of working and collaborating with the client’s representatives,
external stakeholders and consultants.
We can take advice, and we can bring our experience to the table. We will
listen, understand and explore to deliver the most successful design.

TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN OUTCOMES
Ellivo Architects has been an “early adopter” of new technologies
and the opportunities for collaboration that BIM (Building
Information Modelling) affords. Our office has been 100%
committed to the Revit 3D intelligent design software for over five
years. In this time we have developed a comprehensive set of
workflow procedures and an extensive digital library, tailored to
Australian construction techniques and codes.
The BIM approach that we use to visualise and document our Architecture
places us at the cutting edge of the design industry. It allows our designs to
seamlessly interface with technical, services and structural planning, and makes
for great efficiencies throughout the design process.
Our internal processes ensure a high degree of consistency in our digital models
and output which has been well received in the marketplace. Within the office
the use of Revit 3D software allows us to provide documentation that is highly
co-ordinated and produce 3D renders for client and stakeholder understanding
very early on in the process.
We have developed elemental coding of our models to assist quantity surveyors
to quickly and accurately generate takeoffs through Cost X, even at very early
stages of a project.
We utilise the 3D model from early massing studies right through to construction
documentation and have the experience to stretch the use of the software
beyond documentation to ensure it assists us in taking our design to the next
level.
We are always exploring new programs and technologies that further add to the
BIM platform. Our current research is finding better and faster fly through “add
ons”. These technologies significantly speed up the communication process with
key stakeholders, particularly Councils and other authorities.

MYCENTRE NERANG

RELEVANT PROJECTS
We have been working actively in the retail market in
Queensland and Victoria for over three years on a range of
master planning, commercial and industrial projects. Our current
major retail projects include MyCentre Nerang (Architecture
and Retail tenancy standards and advisory), and Sunshine Plaza
redevelopment (Architecture and expansion for Centrelink fitout).
Our current projects include;
MY CENTRE, NERANG
The redevelopment of the existing MyCentre at Nerang offers an opportunity
to provide a quality mixed use heart between the river and the motorway.
Incorporation of the adjoining land allows for expansion and improvement of
the centre to provide a much more diverse experience, increasing the retail and
service offering.
The existing centre is proposed to be given a new active face. A new frame to
replace the existing veranda will screen the existing roof form to integrate the
old and new. The increased centre will provide a rejuvenated and more varied
shopping experience, integration with public transport, integrated community
facilities.
Our scope includes Architecture, Interior Design and we are currently assisting the
client with advisory services for the existing centre’s retail tenant fit-outs.

SUNSHINE PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT

SUNSHINE PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT
RELEVANT PROJECTS
This is a multistage commercial and retail refurbishment and extension of Sunshine
Plaza at Sunshine, Victoria. A new Coles “Superstore” will be incorporated into
the existing fabric. This will serve as the catalyst to significantly extend and reimage
the centre. An additional 15000 square metres of commercial space will
complement the centre and add to the diversity of the offering. Construction of
stage one is programmed to occur late 2012.
Our role to date has encompassed re-imaging of the centre to incorporate the
increased areas, integrating the existing centre and re-imaging the interior to
present a more inviting and bright centre that addresses the approach to Coles,
and a two storey extension to incorporate space for a new Centrelink call centre.

REDS GROUP RETAIL PROJECTS
RELEVANT PROJECTS
Ellivo Architects is currently working with the Reds Group on a multitude of under
performing retail assets which require tenancy negotiations and redesign to
capitalise on locations and potential throughout NSW and Victoria.
The extent of Architectural and Interior design required for each centre varies.
We utilise our 3D Revit to model the existing and demonstrate the new image of
the centre. The images produced assist our client to demonstrate to owners and
prospective tenants the potential within their assets.
MAITLAND HUNTER MALL
Our role at the Maitland Hunter Mall is to open the existing Malls up, create a
new linking mall, new boutique tenancies and a new and connected food court
area. The interior of the existing and new malls is designed to entice people from
one end of the mall to the other and to the key tenant, Kmart.
The project is currently in concept design.

PROJECT EXAMPLES
Urbia Burleigh explores the issues of a complex mix use development that incorporates
the potentially conflicting needs of commercial space, residential towers and “big box “
verses high street retailing.
The project, created for the Rayjon Group, is a unique opportunity to produce urban
densification with an existing urban area, added value and diversity to an existing
underdeveloped shopping centre. The design incorporates the existing retail centre,
boutique shops, “big box” retail, commercial office and residential components over,
and the flexibility of the upper desk carpark being transformed into a weekend market
square.
The project is currently being assessed by the major projects section of GCCC.

URBAN QUARTER
Townsville, QLD
URBAN QUARTER, TOWNSVILLE
PROJECT EXAMPLES
Ellivo Architects originally delivered the Urban Quarter Shopping centre and residential
apartments. The building owner is now exploring the ability to cater for A grade office
space on the site, connecting to the existing retail.
Ellivo Architects are currently exploring design options for Corporate Offices for the
Queensland Government and Accounting firms. The options considered are as per
the render on the left, six stories including four levels of offices and options for future
extensions and upper level deck and conference facilities. Below is one example of an
early concept sketch prepared for discussion with WHK accountants.
To accommodate WHK’s corporate office standards we considered options with offices
to the building perimeter and offices to the centre. We were also involved in a postoccupancy
study at their corporate offices in Melbourne. The project is ongoing.
