Construction Control

Red Shed

Construction Control were hired by the Black Mountain Rowing Club to construct Red Shed, a world-class rowing facility on the Black Mountain Peninsula. The project is a bold initiative designed to be accessible, with the aim of creating a strong sense of belonging and community for rowers of all abilities. From the outside, this striking, modern building stands out with its sleek curves and expansive glass façade. Spanning two levels, it features a gym, co-working space, commercial kitchen, multipurpose function space, servery, wellness facility, coaches’ and therapy room, and a state-of-the-art boat store. It also features a lakeside café overlooking Lake Burley Griffin. The inviting café space is bathed in natural light, with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the water and surrounding greenery. Judges commented on the high quality of workmanship, innovation and use of materials. Red Shed is a landmark addition to Canberra’s waterfront, promoting community engagement, fitness, and inclusivity for people of all abilities.
