在悉尼邮电部的项目中AJ+C’采用了创新的商业建筑设计手法。 该项目是由一个旧仓库改建的，原有仓库被扩展了两倍作为提供邮件流程区。另外在新建的工作层下还有800个遮顶车位。 改建后的办公楼采用创新且低成本的解决方案将原本仓库转换成了简洁，明快的工作环境。设计目标是在办公楼的外立面上采用大面积的玻璃，但玻璃幕墙的成本远超出了预算。

为既符合成本预算又达到视觉上的效果，AJ+C采用了一种组合型的铝合金窗户架构, 由水泥楼板悬臂部分作为每层框架的分隔，这些凸出的框架与自动控制的金属百页窗既能达到遮阳的效果，还能将自然日光反射到楼层深处 。这样的设计巧妙得减少了空调和人造的照明使用。

AJ+C’s innovative approach to commercial design was demonstrated by the Sydney Letter Facility for Australia Post.

An existing warehouse was doubled in size to accommodate a mail process area. In addition, undercover car parking was provided for 800 cars below the new process floor. The office building uses innovative but cost-effective design solutions to create an attractive working environment for the administrative and operating staff. Maximum glazing to all facades of the office building was suggested, but a curtain wall system was simply too expensive.

AJ+C developed a solution utilising an ‘off the shelf’ shop aluminium window system, separated at each level by a cantilevered floor slab and profiled aluminium horizontal light shelves.
