Materials Breakdown
Greenery - by introducing some much needed greenspace into the site, along with seating, grassed areas and landscaped walkways, not only is adequate shading provided, but also a seemlessness into the surrounding surburbia can be achieved.
Rendered Concrete - used to maintain some of the existing identity, and is an excellent material for thermal insulation.
Metal Cladding - as the roof can only be seen from certain viewpoints, the use of metal cladding on various walls highlights this material on a vertical plane as well as the horizontal.
Corrugated Steel - used in reference to the surrounding Queenslander typology, and is an excellent material for thermal insulation.
Timber Verandahs - also a reference to the surrounding Queenslander typology, and provides some much needed outdoor areas and balconies on multiple levels of the site.
Timber Weatherboards - used in reference to the surrounding Queenslander typologies and is excellent in complimenting the existing rendered concrete, metal cladding and shipping containers.
Exposed Aggregate Floors - hard wearing, excellent thermal insulation and compliments concrete render.
Timber and Steel Balustrades - used in reference to the surrounding Queenslander typology.
Shipping Containers - utilised for their modular design benefits, and compliment other choices of materials.
