Plumbers and Gasfitters Employees Union Building
Plumbers and Gasfitters Employees Union Building, Brutalist office building in Carlton, Australia.
The three-story concrete structure features deeply recessed windows, polygonal volumes, and exposed surfaces that exemplify raw architectural design principles.
Constructed in 1971 by architect Graeme Gunn, the building replaced the union's previous location at Trades Hall due to membership growth.
The structure received the Victorian Architectural Award Citation in 1971 and the RAIA Victorian Architecture Award for Enduring Architecture in 2007.
The ground floor contains parking facilities and mechanical services, while upper levels provide office spaces with conference rooms and a lobby.
The building includes a lift shaft specifically constructed to accommodate additional floors for future vertical expansion requirements.
