Interconnected Mixed-Use Precinct Elevates Adelaide’s Sustainability Agenda
The objective of the Main Assembly Building (MAB) was to create a highly flexible, mixed-use precinct under an “umbrella” of the existing structure. Whilst respecting the structure of the MAB in its current form, Woods Bagot created a comprehensive design for the adaptive re-use celebrating the industrial heritage of the Mitsubishi Motors building and creating a unique destination and contemporary public space.
The detailed design of the MAB ensures an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable response to the site. An internal layout delivers a clear yet flexible allotment plan which highlights and adequately deals with the complex issues associated with land titling under the existing structure.

The internal demonstration ‘pod’ buildings are situated under the MAB roof structure. The demonstration pods show future tenants possible building configurations that are attractive, adaptable, flexible and highly functional for a variety of uses including use by multiple tenants within one pod.
Woods Bagot led the master plan consortium for the 61-hectare Tonsley Park Redevelopment site and was lead architect for the adaptive reuse of the Tonsley Main Assembly Building (MAB) and design demonstration pod tenancies. One pod was designed by modular building specialists Tridente Architects, while a second pod was designed by Woods Bagot.
