Another exciting renovation!
The Belgrave Library has undergone a stunning transformation, enhancing its visibility and presence in our community. With a bold new entryway extending to the forecourt, the library now features integrated community seating, inviting everyone to connect and engage.
Step inside to experience the vibrant, textured carpet leading you through dynamic spaces perfect for reading, seating, and IT activities. The fully glazed sorting room showcases our state-of-the-art automated machine, creating excitement for all passersby.
The lofty barn-like space, highlighted with exposed timber and steel trusses, is now filled with natural light from a tall central clerestory and expansive perimeter glazing. Suspended circular LED disk lights provide smooth, diffuse lighting, enhancing the unique architectural charm.
Our new timber-clad entrances and accent-colored carpets clearly mark the community meeting rooms, ensuring a welcoming and accessible environment for all. The central elliptical control bench is designed for seamless service, ready to adapt to future needs.

At Henry Turner South Pavilion, the back façade is just as important as the front elevation! An interface that connects the pavilion to Victoria University, it was important to create an entrance that was open, inviting, and didn’t feel like it was a secondary entry point. We are patiently waiting for the landscape to establish as this will only further enhance this area!

We recently attended the grand opening of Henry Turner South Pavilion which was opened by Cr Sarah Carter and Katie Hall MP. The atmosphere was lively, and we got to experience an exciting rugby game where the players and community were able to utilise the new pavilion.
Many thanks to the Victorian State Government and Maribyrnong City Council for providing this new facility for the community!

Caloola Reserve Pavilion - Articulated as 3 complimentary objects in the park, this unique pavilion serves many sports including tennis, soccer and cricket. The building, therefore, must relate to the large sports fields for cricket and soccer to the north, whilst equally addressing the tennis courts to the south. A centralised multi-purpose social space is shared by all users and takes in views both north and south. Support spaces for kitchen, store and amenities are positioned to the sides to enable the dramatic see-through space to be realised.

We are excited to see Deep Creek Pavilion in its final stage of construction. The pavilion is split into two, with change rooms and amenities on the lower levels and the social spaces on the upper level. The cantilevered balcony edge will provide excellent views towards the baseball field and surrounding landscape.

A great shot of Henry Turner South Pavilion during a defects inspection. The new pavilion is raised above a flood level on site, thereby enjoying excellent northern views over the rugby and grid iron fields as well as providing seating plinths for spectators.

At Altona North Childcare, one of our main design constraints was an amazing existing eucalyptus tree that sat proudly within the site. Our key objective was to retain the tree, provide a connection between two existing facilities and allow for expansion. Successful collaboration by the design team has allowed the tree be retained in all it’s glory and be a key feature within the playspace.
