Public thoroughfare through building with different levels stepping up to facade. Main body of building planned around existing facade in order to preserve this facade and ensure views out to Adelaide Street through the old windows. The building spilts off into a two-tiered building to take the user into Burnett Lane from different levels and create a large open space for relaxation in the busy city.

Vertical Layout of the building:
- Ground Floor - Retail is located at ground floor to attract users to the site and also allow for a transient experience of the building. The ground floor has been designed to act as a public thoroughfare, a new laneway for the city, as well as a new public space to sit and linger. This gives the user the option of being able to pass straight through or spend time within the site. The stairs leading up to the first floor act as a public interface where users may sit and watch the courtyard activity.
- First Floor - The first floor consists of the foyer and reception/ticket office area, theatre, an exhibition space where people can also gather before and after theatre events and amenities.
- Second Floor - The theatre exit is located on the second level where there is another exhibition/events space where people can gather after theatre events. A cafe is located on the balcony outside with outdoor seating which provides maximised views of Burnett Lane.
- Third Floor - The third floor consists of three flexible spaces which can be used for educational purposes (dance, art, language classes etc.)
- Fourth Floor - The fourth floor is a rooftop bar/cinema which can be used for both events, as well as use by the public. Cinema times will be showcased at Ground level throughout the week.This area has both views of Adelaide Street, King George Square and King George Square.
