Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Community Building | King and Campbell

The Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Community Building (CJFCB) is located on a key node within the Coffs Foreshore Precinct and alongside the iconic Coffs Jetty. Conceived through a rigorous community engagement and analysis process, the design of the building and ‘spill-out’ zones around it are both flexible and adaptable to accommodate a range of sporting, community, and food and beverage uses. A key feature of the project is the recreated sand dune, which pays homage to natural systems whilst reducing built form bulk and providing compliant and inviting access to the second level. The effect of this design initiative, along with the use of reclaimed hardwood timber and simple finished concrete that reflects the character of this important coastal precinct, is that the building appears to be set into and a part of the natural landscape. The CJFCB has been welcomed with immediate and clear community acceptance.

Xavier College Master Plan Stage 1 – Central Precinct | MGS Architects

The redevelopment of Xavier Colleges Central Precinct, consisting of the new Kostka Building for years 7 and 8 and a new subterranean Sports and Transport Hub, has transformed the car dominated heart of Xaviers hilltop campus into a safe, sustainable and accessible learning precinct that celebrates learning and diversity.

Representing the first stage of the Colleges Master Plan, the project connects the expansive campus from east to west, threading a new, lively pedestrian walk through the new building. Safe arrival is supported in a subterranean travel hub sleeved with new sports facilities, gently embedded in the landscape in a design response that celebrates the sensitive existing heritage of the site.
