Designed as part of MSK Architects’ coordinated New Line Road precinct, the project uses reflective glazing, charcoal and silver finishes, and vivid green portal frames to give each tenancy a clear identity. The buildings respond carefully to the steep site through split levels, elevated parking and efficiently arranged loading areas, while maintaining a cohesive relationship with the adjoining bushland setting and neighbouring developments.

Located within the Dural Service Centre, the development of Lots 4 and 5 forms part of a broader industrial precinct designed by MSK Architects at 242 New Line Road. The project provides a collection of flexible warehouse and workshop tenancies with integrated office accommodation, loading facilities and conveniently located on-site parking.
The architectural approach transforms the conventional industrial building into a distinctive and contemporary commercial environment. Large areas of dark reflective glazing define the upper-level offices and provide generous natural light, outlook and visibility for the individual businesses. These glazed façades are articulated by projecting green and silver portal elements, which create a strong rhythm across the development and clearly identify the office and entry components of each tenancy.
The vivid green portals establish an individual identity for Lots 4 and 5 while remaining consistent with the architectural language developed across the wider New Line Road precinct. Together with the yellow elements used on the adjoining development, the portals create variation between the buildings without compromising the visual cohesion of the overall estate. Charcoal wall finishes, white roof forms and silver cladding provide a restrained background that allows the coloured elements and reflective glazing to become the primary architectural features.
The project responds directly to the site’s substantial change in level. The building platforms, parking areas and circulation routes are arranged across a series of levels, allowing the development to follow the natural topography while maintaining practical access to each tenancy. Elevated parking areas and undercroft spaces make efficient use of the sloping land, while broad internal driveways provide clear access to the warehouse entries and loading zones.
The composition balances the functional requirements of industrial development with a carefully considered public and tenant-facing presentation. Repeated glazed office bays break down the scale of the buildings, while large roller doors and sheltered loading areas are integrated into the overall façade rather than treated as secondary service elements. At night, the illuminated offices and projecting portals give the development a strong presence and enhance passive surveillance within the internal courtyard.
Set against the surrounding bushland, the project combines robust industrial materials with a bold but disciplined architectural identity. Through coordinated planning, efficient use of the site and a consistent design language, Lots 4 and 5 contribute to a recognisable contemporary precinct that supports a diverse range of industrial, service and commercial occupants.
