Spatial challenges through co-location within the Foyer of patrons attending three different venues.

This puts circulation strain on access to amenities, bars, and the venues themselves.

+

This scope of works is about concepts and that relies on clear communication. Critical to user group and stakeholder management is how we use the model to communicate design options and solutions. Therefore, from the outset we will establish a BIM Execution Plan that is about the ‘conceptual’ visualisation, to ensure revit models are not clunky and over engineered too early. We will create layers and storyboards to explain in 3D, the range of stakeholder interests to inform decisions. For example: + + + +

What are patron DDA pathways?

What are the performer DDA and connections between change rooms, green room and stage.

How is equipment bought in and out.

What impact do changes make to sightlines and how can they be improved.

Mapping user group and stakeholder sensibilities and interests early, will inform how we present the digital collateral.

We understood a similar approach on the New Southern Entrance to the Australian War Memorial. The stakeholders and user groups varied from Visitor Experience, to Archival, Gallery teams, F&B and Functions, security, and operational/ technical. Each had specific interests and what they needed to know to inform decisions. Hence at the outset of the project, we sat with each and quizzed them on: +

How do they like to communicate? Digitally on screen, hard copies, presentation, or workshop style.

+

What information would they like to see in diagram form in 3D that could help them understand the scheme.

For example, the galleries team was more interested in daylight impacts compared to Security who wanted to have line of sight throughout. Those operating the theatre were more focuses on technical bump in and out, compared to Visitor Experience who were more focused on amenities, DDA connections, F&B offers.

Schedule 3 – Resourcing Capacity and Capability We have included a broad team of design and technical specialists in support of the project. We have reviewed the project timelines and confirm we have the resourcing capacity and capability to meet the project requirements. As a practice we stand by our commitments, and we believe that our prior history of working with SOH over many projects since 2010 is evidence of our capacity to meet our commitments. Our Core Design Team at Scott Carver is as follows: Doug Southwell, Project Director

Risks and Opportunities Any project of this nature carries Risk. It could be about design impact, operational efficiency, safety in design or program and cost impacts. Identifying risks early is critical.

Doug will oversee the project and the core client/contractual relationship. More importantly, he will provide design guidance and be deeply involved in the strategic solutions, stakeholder engagement and presentations.

Doug brings to the team a deep history of working at SOH lead the prior Strategic Building plan inputs to SOH and authored the Accessibility Masterplan which informs several Western Venues opportunities.

Whilst we have a good working knowledge of the Western Venues and SOH, we will workshop risks with key stakeholders and consultants in the mobilisation phase of the project; importantly to identify how the risk can be both mitigated and turned into an opportunity.

Edward Salib, Design Leader Edward is a Director of Scott Carver and has a broad range of public project experience. Edward has recently overseen the Australian War Memorial New Southern Entrance project where extensive heritage interface and interpretation was required, in addition to extensive stakeholder engagement. Edward works closely with Doug on numerous major projects and provides resilience to the team through very senior business commitment to the project abd design leadership.

Some high-level risks are outlined below: +

Our Digital Toolkit We have a deep understanding of SOH’s BIM requirements.

Working in a revit environment, we know well, the value a well considered and structured model can provide in the communication of ideas.

The point being, we tailored 3D collateral to suit the audience and ensure they have buy-in to the decisions and reporting back on how their inputs informed the outcomes, noting that reporting back, even if their needs were not fully met, is key to quality stakeholder engagement.

+

+

+

+

Access to knowledge: SOH has a lot of hidden stories and insights. We need to get access to those internally and those externally (Consultants) who have knowledge of the building. We will manage this by proposing a team with a deep experience of working on SOH projects.

Ornella Bucceri, Project Leader Ornella is an Associate in Scott Carver and has been involved in the Sydney Opera House, for many years, leading the delivery phase of JST Renewal and subsequent projects. Ornella will manage the day to day of the project and co-ordinate the design team. Ornella is currently leading the delivery phase of the Australian War Memorial New Southern Entrance project and has supported Doug on numerous Create NSW lead business cases for theatre renewals.

Taking the Blinkers off: At the same time though, longevity and experience can lead to having ‘blinkers’ on ideas.

Therefore, whilst our team includes people from Scott Carver with a deep experience on SOH, we have also brought in new experienced designers and problem solvers to ensure we merge fresh ideas with building insight.

Emma Leckie, Project 2iC Emma is an Architect and Associate at Scott Carver, leading our Sustainability working group. She has recently been involved in work at the AWM in Canberra and a heritage education project at Curl Curl works closely with Ornella and Edward on a range of public and private client projects. She brings a core sustainability lens and drive to the team.

Building Impact: Of course, any project at SOH has to think front of mind in regard to the visual, design and life cycle impact to the building.

Early in the project we will map with the design and client team, what the ‘no-go’ zones are.

Business Case Clarity: Business Cases can be hampered from the outset by cost plans with excessive risk for unknown. Hence we will work closely with the design consultants and Cost Planner to integrate areas of risk in order to minimise contingencies and the unknown.

This might mean certain areas need to be explored more than a concept level in order to create budget certainty.

Darren Horsfield, BIM Manager Darren is an experienced BIM Manager and has worked on SOH projects since 2010. Whilst the project is focused on concept phases of work, integration of BIM principals and continue 3D diagramming and explanation of design decisions is key from the outset. More recently, Darren has provided the BIM Management on a major project ay Taronga Zoo, using BIM to define option review with stakeholders.

In support of this, we have proposed a series of key disciplines as sub consultants, to form a strong core design team, that will be supplemented in the RFT with other disciplines. We consider the disciplines below though are business critical to the project and hence we have formed a view on our collaboration at EOI phase.

Jim Hultquist, Theatre Consultant - Schuler Shook

Renewal impact: Any renewal work has impacts to patrons and performers. However, we are mindful that after the Decade of Renewal, those that work in, and perform at SOH, have had to live through a lot of impacts. We will need to design the concepts that enable a mannered staging that minimise ongoing disruption to ensure all stakeholders and the public do not become ‘tired’ of change and hence negative to the renewal opportunities. Universal support is critical in public funding processes; as is outlining how the renewal projects can enhance the experiences for patrons, performers and the staff.

The analysis and upgrade of the infrastructure associated with the three venues and their associated back of house is a key objective of the project and we know from our prior Strategic Building Plan review work of 2012 and the Accessibility Masterplan, that so many of the spatial or design decisions will be driven by theatre technical pragmatics Martin Craig, Mechanical Engineering Lead - Steensen Varming Michael Harrold, Electrical Engineering Lead - Steensen Varming The interface between the venues BOH, Central Passage and key services allowances will play into the design early in the concept phase of the work. Steensen Varming bring an awful lot of knowledge on SOH to the team, with additional disciplines in lighting and sustainability to be added into the team within the RFT phase.

Alistair Morrison, Fire Engineering Lead - Arup Xavier Nuttall, Structural Engineering Lead - Arup

After all, SOH is a piece of performance at all levels, and the magic of going to the theatre, starts with the art of arrival, the way to access F&B, how you find your way to the amenities, and then your experience in finding your seat. Hence, all design solutions must enhance rather than detract from the experience.

The integrities of life safety in any replanning of the Western Venues is equally paramount to the design and opportunities for upgrades and including equitable paths of travel. The Western Venues are in essence an ‘after thought’ to the original build and with the Concert Hall above, and core structural or egress decisions can have flow on effects to other parts of what is a highly complex building.

Description of how the project is comparable to WVUP.

At the time of Design Competition, AWM provided a Business Case reference scheme – in effect a strategic building plan. Upon winning the competition, we worked with a broad range of user groups and stakeholders to inform design developed solutions and testing against core functional memorial requirements.

The project connects into national significant heritage, that is an enduring and culturally significant symbol of remembrance. As a result, the design solution required a sensitive and crafted approach and a responsibility to evolve the original vision of the building. Whilst a new extension, we were spatially constrained between the existing building and the Stone of Remembrance and as such it is a reasonably tight footprint for the required brief, relying on clear and legible planning.

Description of how the Respondent developed and implemented their design in response to the project’s requirements. Please provide tangible examples.

Whilst the overall core design reflects a Design Competition outcome, design development naturally occurred. Through this process we used 3D diagramming and clear storyboarding to define the design development and changes to an extensive range of user groups and stakeholders; many of whom had varying capacity to interpret drawings. At all times we defined the key design principals that were ‘sacrosanct’ in terms of heritage interface and cultural representation and rated changes requested against a preset list of agreed measures.

As the scheme developed and construction escalation increased, as lead a robust value management process, again using pre agreed values to assess changes against, recognising that any work on a building of heritage significant and cultural value must maintain clarity if its’ public representation and offer.

Details of Sub Consultants and disciplines managed by the Respondent

Riverside: JV partnership with Architect Marshall. Subconsultants included theatre planning, full MEP, structure, civil, heritage, BCA, DDA, Flood, archaeology, planning.

Plus, central consultants.

Description of how the project is comparable to WVUP.

Riverside is an existing premises with a 750-seat theatre, 150 seat black box and a minor venue. We initially prepared 6 schemes (each with variations) in the SBC ranging from Base Case (upgrade only) to full replacement. The theatre adjoins heritage (Lennox Bridge) and sits between the river and a heritage listed park. As a major cultural venue in Parramatta, the schemes ranged from $40m to $350m in value. The FBC is $150m including retention of the existing 750 seat theatre, a new 1400 seat theatre, 300 seat black box, rehearsal space and function space. Our FBC work informed the funding application to West Invest to finance the total project value of $180m with initial $100m committed prior to SBC.

Description of how the Respondent developed and implemented their design in response to the project’s requirements. Please provide tangible examples.

As a business case, the inputs and stakeholders were varied. From the outset we needed to manage a dual client in Create NSW (initial contracted party) and Parramatta City Council as $100m of the total project budget came through the Council’s land contribution to the development of MAAS. The design solutions needed considered appraisal between theatre planning (Schuler Shook) and core UD principals, due to the significant location of the site and its compact site dimensions.

A key challenge being to ‘fit’ the brief on the site. As a result, the design scheme was theatre plan led, in order to ensure the functional outcomes could be world class with the architectural massing and continually tested in 3D against key theatre planning spatial constraints.

SYDNEY CENTRAL HOTEL TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Our tooffyeoru

HOTELS & HOSPITALITY

BRINGING AUCKLAND’S NEIGHBOURHOOD STORY TO LIFE AT HOTEL INDIGO. As IHG’s first Hotel Indigo in New Zealand, our challenge was to interpret IHG’s neighbourhood story for this property in Auckland.

The building’s industrial features are set against bold and creative interior design solutions. In the lobby, F&B offers and public areas of the hotel, the character is inspired by the heritage building in which these spaces sit.

Exposed brick and reclaimed timber from the site will be featured, set off by architectural details, such as metal framed reeded glass partitions, that take their reference from the industrial nature of the building, and lighting inspired by the hotel’s neighbour, St Patrick’s Cathedral. Vintage car detailing is evidenced in the rich leathers and button and tufted seating, while a reclaimed basketball court floor pays homage to the building owner and our client.

Moving up into the guest rooms in the modern, 43-storey tower, heritage elements become more streamlined. Bathroom furniture and room joinery showcase vintage and industrial detailing, which is set against warm timber flooring, white rendered walls and gold metal trim to create a fresh canvas. A scaffolding-inspired open wardrobe and peg-board display make reference to the building’s auto-mechanic history and provide space to tell the neighbourhood story in imagery.

The architectural form responded by providing a gateway identity with a strong built form anchoring the site, where the facade suggests the motion of the wake of boats in the harbour and the contrails of planes as they take flight.

ROOFTOP PAVILION & POOL

The dual-branded hotel nestles around a courtyard which provides a landscaped respite from the unforgiving surroundings. This opens onto a 700 sqm F&B-led lobby space which provides a range of opportunities to lounge, dine, work and play. It is sure to become a destination for the hotel guests within the precinct as well as the community beyond.
