Gordon Stephenson House, Government office building in Perth, Australia
The Gordon Stephenson House is a modern office building in Perth located on William Street that houses several government departments. It provides direct access to the railway station and combines office space with smaller retail areas.
The building opened in 2010 as the result of a major development project that began several years earlier. Its construction followed the completion of the underground railway station and was part of Perth's modernized infrastructure.
The building carries the name of Gordon Stephenson, a city planner whose vision shaped Perth's development in the 20th century. Visitors can sense this connection to the city's planning history while moving through the modern spaces.
The building is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, as it sits directly next to the railway station. Visitors should note that it is a government building, so access areas are limited.
Notably, the building integrated historic structures such as the Wellington Building and the Globe Hotel into its modern design. These older constructions were preserved and form an interesting contrast with the contemporary elements surrounding them.
