SOUTH HEAD PERFORMANCE HOUSE Burrawarra, Sydney project completed 2024

Located on the point of Sydney’s entrance, the South Head Performance House serves as a communal space for performing arts to be shared and seen. In response to a design studio brief wherein a floating drama house is to be erected in Sydney Harbour, the South Head Performance House aims to address the historical and cultural tensions of the site while rejuvenating and regifting the land to the public.

Considered in conjunction with the repurposing of military land in North Head, the South Head Performance House takes inspiration from its site’s past and current use as a vantage point for inbound ships. With precedence from Palladio and Vitruvius, the design prioritises vision by establishing three different vistas in the auditorium. With lookouts to Chowder Head, Middle Head and North Head, the performance house calls upon other notable Sydney shores in order to remind the audience of where they are situated.

To assimilate with the landscape, the form of the theatre takes inspiration from the monolithic ships that pass the cliff, as well as the Hornby Lighthouse which sits near the site. Supported by posts, the structure aims to work with the calamity of the water, rather than combat it.

NORTH EVELEIGH SPORTS CENTRE

Redfern, Sydney project completed 2024 The North Eveleigh Sports Centre is a community space designed for Sydney’s Inner-south. With the intention of disassembling the building in approximately fifteen years, the architecture was required to provide a light, inviting space while being mindful of materials and passive climatic design. Additionally, the siting of the structure near historic and cultural landmarks such as Carriageworks invoked a conceptual yet functional form into the sturcutre. notably in its variable roofs.

Featuring two indoor sports courts and outdoor half courts, a cafe, public amenities and conference rooms, the North Eveleigh Sports Centre goes beyond providing a sports space, but rather a communal gathering hub.

The project underwent multiple iterations and experiments with form and material selection in order to land on its completed design. With consideration of passive solar design, cultural sensitivity and community needs, the structure embodies a light and inviting appearance to invigorate movement in a harsh site.

Understanding the immeadiate context, and whch demographics of the community would be in contact with the design.

High volumes of concrete in and around the site pushed for a more considered climatic response.

PAINTSHOP

Predicting and understanding movement to and from the site also determines how the design invites users.

EVELEIGH WORKSHOP

CARRIAGEWORKS

Analysis of site, community, history and culture was conducted in order to inform the design of the sports hall.

Combined with the brief’s request for dissassembly, the form must be expressive of the landscape as well as efficiently constructed.

The sawtooth form was a recurring motif, adopted and modified in the final design. Paying homage to the industrial history of the Eveleigh precinct, while offering optimal climatic performance, the analysis conducted greatly contributed to the design.

Hand-drawn plans, sections and elevations are beautifully expressive. They are able to communicate certain emotions and intentions that may be harder to communicate through digital drawings.

I believe that proficiency in digitally-produced and hand-drawn architectural diagrams ensures that communication of all aspects of a design is clear.
