Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club | Adriano Pupilli Architects
Nestled within the rugged coastal dune scape of Griffith Reserve, the Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club emerges from the landscape. It quietly signals its presence via a series of weathered timber forms, each defining a corner of a communal courtyard. This is a place for the community to gather, to save lives, to train, to pause and reconnect with each other and nature. The architecture recedes to allow natural coastal flows and processes to characterise the experience of the building and the land.
Over time the building is designed to weather and patina in place, a robust and hardworking architecture for generations of club and community users to enjoy, be inspired, delighted and surprised, day to day and across the seasons. An architecture where people and place can thrive and be well.
B’Yachad Building | TKD Architects
The B’Yachad Building reimagines a pragmatic 1970s teaching building as an innovative and engaging place for learning. The building includes 9 new learning spaces on three levels including an Imaginarium or maker space including support staff, meeting rooms and toilet facilities. The terracotta tiles and steel accentuate the articulated forms and setbacks on the upper level creating a building that is layered and modulated when viewed from the street.
Reusing the structural walls and floors of the original Adler Building acts as a starting point for a sustainable future while the building targets high levels of energy efficiency and lower operational energy consumption. The playful interior creates nooks for reading, quiet concentration spaces and permeations between spaces sharing light, air and sight connections. The landscape design assists in the comprehension and legibility of the site by building on the existing landscape patterns while creating better connections between the buildings.
