Project Info:

The multipurpose hall was completely stripped back and reworked to create a durable and flexible space within a tight budget. The refurbishment focuses on improving functionality while maintaining natural light and ventilation, with the existing external lean becoming enclosed to create a new entry and sideline space.

the design

Working within the existing structure and a limited budget, the design uses simple interventions to maximise light and ventilation. A high-level system of translucent roof sheeting and perforated mesh triangles extends between the existing portal frames, allowing the building to breathe while creating a distinctive architectural feature.
