| Approaching the site from the east. The shell of the building seems to rise out of the ground and crawl up the side of the cliff. |
 |
| A view from the top of the cliffside walkway. This walkway connects the top of the cliffs to the HSW site and provides another view point of the CBD and the HSW |
 |
| Creating an open parkland for recreational activities and also for people to relax in was a main priority with the landscaping design. |
 |
| Aerial View of the approach from west site (from the CBD). The large open park is shown with the SHW Retreat and new City cat terminal shown in the background. |
 |
| View of the cliffside walkway connecting the site to the top of the cliff (via the under bridge walkway). The glass panels in the shell house the indoor pool. |
 |
| Morning shot of the retreat as the sun rises over the cliffs. The bikeway in front of the building allows people to walk and ride through the site uninterrupted, Why pedestrians can easily enter the retreat via the front stairs or duck into the cafe through the bottom glass doors. |
 |
| As visitors enter the building, they are greeted by the main reception foyer. A combination of natural and warm artificial lighting creates a comforting and welcoming atmosphere. |

 |
| The view from the bedroom of the residential unit. As the owner lies in bed, they are able to see the CBD 'framed' by the archway of the bridge. The bedroom and unit offer the user a retreat of their own to relax and take in the beautiful view of the surrounding city. |
 |
| A large living room and kitchen have sweeping views of the HSW site and riverfront CBD. |
 |
| Daytime shot of the upper indoor pool. The frosted glass panels enclose the space, letting in diffused light and offering some privacy from the outside world. |
 |
| The indoor pool again, but at night highlighting the illumination of the natural rock fact . |
