We are sharing the concept designs for the Artarmon Parkland Pavilion!
Following the design review process of the initial concept design, we present the initial and preferred concept designs for adaptive re-use of the Artarmon Bowling Club a Community Pavilion. We also provide the next steps in the project, anticipating DA submission in late 2020.
Project update:
June 2020 - Concept Design 1 developed by the consultant Architect.
July 2020 - Design Review Process conducted which engaged three independent architects with local knowledge and public space project experience.
September 2020 - Concept Design 2 developed as the preferred design option following the Design Review Process which clearly supported the principles of adaptive re-use and offered refinement ideas for Concept Design 1.
The Design Review process:
A site visit and understanding of the local environment, context and scale
Review of Concept Design 1 and community views on the design brief.
Presentation of the design themes and principles by the designing Architect
Design Review panel feedback:
Support for adaptive reuse and sustainability
Support for continued community use
Acknowledging that adaptive re-use compromises a green-field approach to integration with the overall site, accessibility and separation of uses and recognises the cultural interest in the existing building.
Recognising individual panel architects reports to enhance the design.
Recommended Design Enhancements
Elimination of under-croft toilets and BBQ areas
The enhanced all-access transition between upper and lower levels
Relocation of all-access toilets to Pavilion level
Introduction of amphitheatre seating terraces
Shaded cascade display gardens
Relocation of BBQ to upper parkland under the existing gazebo
Retained size of the covered outdoor terrace
Separable kitchen access with internal servery
New store to the rear of the community room
Retention of the original built form and character
Next Steps
Concept Design 2 incorporates the recommended design enhancements and is the preferred design option. Council will request community feedback on the design as part of the DA exhibition period;
October - Nov 2020: Detailed design and lodge DA
November 2020 - Community consultation and feedback on the design as part of the DA public exhibition period.
Nov 2020 - Feb 2021: Tender & construction documentation
March 2021: Construction tender
May 21: Commence construction
Early 2022: Complete construction
