Just wow.
The whole notion of adaptability and disassembly has become really inspiring - due to the versatility of my design brief and the amalgamation of 5 very different companies, such a responsive building may be required (Ruwan suggested a USB for inspiration).
I also really like Tom Chudleigh Yellow Treehouse Restaurant - a collection of 'treehouses' nested in giant redwoods. Maybe the Chifley could be my redwood, with 'growths' engulfing it, enclosing it.

The thought of a parasitic building is then another possibility, tying in nicely with mobility. Architectural extensions on to the existing Chifley hotel that speaks as a metaphor for how Brisbane is changing.
And perhaps not in such a sci-fi alien way, but in a cute and playful way like Mark Reigelman project Manifest Destiny! where a cute little cabin is parasitically attached to the side of the building. Perhaps a collection of 'pods' (like within Google's Zurich office) could be attached to the side of the Chifley as break-out spaces?
