An exercise in simplicity

An exercise in simplicity

Two rectangular wings with simple skillion roofs house the change rooms and essential sporting pavilion facilities. They are positioned to directly address the two ovals, while creating a welcoming gesture on the entry side. External walls to the wings on entry side are concrete tilt-up panels for efficiency and robustness they are treated as a canvas for a landscape graphic giving a unique identity to the facility.

They are positioned to directly address the two ovals while creating a welcoming gesture on the entry side. External walls to the wings on the entry side are concrete tilt-up panels. For efficiency and robustness, they are treated as a canvas for a landscape graphic, giving the facility a unique identity. These solid wings sit in counterpoint to the highly transparent social space that joins and reconciles the geometry of the wings.

Our design incorporates functionality, robustness, flexibility, and future-proofing, responding to the landscape and the required sporting program with simple elegance.
