The newly added infrastructure enclosure is well thought out and balances the historic Scott Street interlocking signal tower. It is carefully designed to honour the historic building, while turning a functional engineering requirement into a beautiful architectural and sculptural expression at a location that could have been easily ignored. The level of detail shown in this project, including the reveal space between the old and new structures, demonstrates a sensitivity that is often overlooked for public infrastructure within the city’s urban context.
