A key aspect of the proposal included Laneway creation, transforming the site into a social and cultural destination anchor. Equally key, the verticality and slenderness of the tower was accentuated though the pure expression of the internal plan and further emphasised with the creation of a large cascading sky lobby volume, dividing the threshold between the podium and tower massing. The inclusion of a terraced roof top bar and a vertical social spine expanded on the idea of an intimate destination place.

Overall, The Wilshire has the potential to positively contribute to the urban fabric of the precinct, to connect to its history, to the play on the global cultural threshold it sits within and encourage respect of a changing cultural landscape.
