Windsurfing containers

RQYS received a grant to advance windsurfing at the club.

RSA devised a design that minimised development costs and provided a multi-use temporary building in the form of a collection of modified containers

This approach minimised town planning requirements and enabled a simple footing design. The containers can easily be modified at a later date or repositioned.

The storage container layout creates space between and around them contributing to a well used communal space for the windsurfing community.

Morayfield Hotel

Hanworth Guesthouse

The project involved extensive renovation and approvals for the use of a guest house in an existing historic building. RSA worked with the client, planner, heritage architect certifier, and builder to develop a strategy for Hanworth's future.

The existing original home and later hospice was in disrepair and legislation had caught up with the proposed use. The building design was discretely broken up into 3 fire compartments for Certification. A new accommodation wing and pavilion were added to complete the design:

26 rooms
3 kitchens
10 bathrooms

Mixed Development

This project maximises the development outcome for this inner city site. The buildings have a street frontage of 72LM and was built under two approvals:

Stage 1 contains 1550 m2 of offices and
Stage 2-6 includes apartments over the ground level retail

The street elevation utilises open veranda access balconies to create interaction with the street. The top level offices have raking ceilings. Access for the tenancies is undercover but open to the environment. The building has a lift. All parking is to the rear enabling the building to be built to the street edge.

Type: Commercial
