Sports Centre Facade Transformation and Stairway
Aesthetics Meets Safety
Safety and Aesthetics in Harmony
This project is an exemplification of the seamless blend of form and function.
The key challenge was to conceive a design that was visually compelling, safe, and compliant within a bustling sports centre in South East Queensland. This endeavour underscores the thoughtful and strategic planning that goes into our architectural processes.
Balance of aesthetics and safety
Balancing Form and Function
The image showcases our 'Sports Centre Facade Transformation and Stairway' project at a busy sporting facility in South East Queensland. Our design approach aimed to strike a harmonious balance between visual appeal, safety, and compliance. The transformed facade and stairway exemplify this balance, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the centre.

Safety-centric Emergency Stairway Design
We aimed to blend safety with modern design in this project. The first image reveals a safety landing midway and new external cladding for enhanced durability.
From the rear, the second image showcases a sports-themed metal mesh safeguarding the stairway's underside. This protective design, combined with ample stair width, reinforces both safety and aesthetics. All elements align with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and relevant Australian standards, underscoring our dedication to safety and quality.
