159 HAMILTON ROAD The refurbishment and extension of this Wavell Heights commercial property located in Brisbane’s north, included the design and project management of significant changes to the existing property, three new commercial tenancies, store fit-outs, extensive landscaping, and civil works.

Fronting a busy Brisbane arterial road, the tricky low-lying, floodprone site provided several town planning issues that Guymer Bailey Architects, alongside the consulting design team MVTP, Browns Consulting Group, Covey Associates and Umow Lai, needed to overcome. These included storm water catchment changes, the relocation of public infrastructure and changed traffic conditions.

This successful collaboration, along with a close working relationship with a committed client who understands the demands and complexities of the industry, resulted in a design that fulfilled expectations and a project that was delivered on time and budget.

SAMOAN INDEPENDENT SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Situated on Redbank Plains Road in Bellbird Park, the Samoan Independent Seventh Day Adventist Church has been designed to provide a place of worship and space for recreational activities in keeping with their strong sense of community spirit.

The church hall accommodates a seated congregation of three hundred and features a proscenium stage and baptismal pool. The sports hall, linked to the church by a central two-storey service and administration ‘wedge’, features a flexible timber floored space with two volleyball courts that can be transformed into a competition size basketball court. The sports hall also doubles as a functions hall with a stage, kitchen and associated storage areas.

While the church hall is air-conditioned, large sliding doors shaded by deep verandahs are located along the lengths of both sidewalls to provide natural cross ventilation. For most months of the year, these doors remain open, with air-conditioning used only during hot summer months. With a priority placed on sustainability, the sports hall utilises large banks of louvres reinforced with a series of roof turbo vents to provide an appropriate environment for sports all year round. Landscaping was also an important consideration in this development, with native plants offering shade and colour across the grounds and a new play area added to cater for younger members of the growing congregation.

HOPKINS CORRECTIONAL CENTRE The Secure Environment Design Alliance (SEDA) was part of the successful bid team chosen to undertake the major and complex expansion of the existing Ararat Prison. Guymer Bailey Architects, as a SEDA partner was the lead design consultant for the $200m, 350-bed expansion and redevelopment Public Private Partnership (PPP) project.

The new works included two accommodation communities each consisting of a 76-bed cellblock and eleven 4-bed residential units, and a therapeutic community containing a 40-bed cellblock, a therapeutic support centre, twelve 4-bed residential units, and an adjacent 8-bed continued detention unit. The expansion also included a gatehouse complex, external stores, shared services including an operational support and operational management building, ten management cells, visits centre, health centre, reception and discharge building, kitchen and laundry, education centre, recreation building with outdoor recreation facilities, and four new industries workshops. Work within the existing prison comprised of the prisoner shop, and the refurbishment or demolition of existing buildings.

Design initiatives have focused on sustainability, including a tri-generation plant, a large amount of double-glazing for temperature stability and the careful use of the thermal mass contained within secure facilities. As a result of the design, potable water consumption will decrease even though the facility’s capacity has doubled. Guymer Bailey Landscape in partnership with a local Victorian landscape consultant also assisted with the project, landscaping the Main Street walkway and entry area to the gatehouse, as well as designing the new sports oval.

FIG TREE POCKET RESIDENCE Guymer Bailey Landscape and Guymer Bailey Architects worked side by side on this Fig Tree Pocket renovation to blur the rigid distinction between indoors and outdoors and provide greater outdoor living and entertaining.

The backyard has been redesigned as a modern courtyard sanctuary framed by detailed timber elements and mosaic tiled feature walls placed inside the well-established buffer planting.

A water feature aligned with the internal hallway forms the centrepiece of the space viewed across the lawn from the large paved outdoor living space that is equipped with a modern outdoor kitchen and covered by an arbour and skillion roof for weather protection.

Architectural intervention has seen internal spaces reprogrammed, new timber flooring, the fireplace renovated, and the conversion of a study room into an indoor gym. A new feature bay window and large glazed sliding door panels promote openness and connection to the backyard.

MT ISA NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE The Mount Isa Neighbourhood Centre is a modern facility designed to accommodate the needs and activities of the growing Mt Isa community. Tasked with creating a versatile, flexible and sustainable neighbourhood centre, Guymer Bailey Architects worked closely with Building and Asset Services, The Department of Communities and local user groups to deliver a functional centre with a strong sense of community, in only nine months.

Designed to cater for groups of varying sizes who use it for multiple purposes, the centre has operable walls and covered verandahs allowing spaces to shrink or expand when required. A large corridor that runs through

the middle of the building also acts as a discreet meeting or breakout area, giving small groups the flexibility of meeting without the need to book formal rooms or spaces.

The landscape design celebrates the many uses of the building featuring several covered areas that groups can use to meet informally and enjoy the outdoor amenities including a yarning circle, children’s play area and vegetable garden.

MIKE CARNEY TOYOTA & LEXUS SHOWROOMS The design of the new Mike Carney Toyota and Lexus showroom represents a fresh and innovative approach to customer service.

Integrating sales and service through customer lounges and vehicle delivery, the centre creates an inviting and relaxed atmosphere that represents the qualities of the individual Toyota and Lexus brands.

During the showroom’s long history in Townsville, the surrounding area has changed from open fields to a busy commercial district, with numerous brands competing for attention. Responding to this, each showroom has been designed as a high-end shop front, with large expanses of glazing and feature display windows to maximise views from the street front. Working extensively with the Toyota and Lexus corporate group, as well as the onsite team and builder, we delivered a design that was in line with each distinct brand identity whilst embracing an overall consistency.

Environmentally, our challenge was to balance the desire for maximum transparency and vision into the showrooms with the facade’s orientation to the western afternoon sun. Using a mixture of large overhangs, screening, and glazing types we successfully reduced the impact of the afternoon sun while still maximising natural light inside.
