Back at work for the start of 2015 - Construction sketches for Wyeeboo Community Pavilion.

Barrymore Road Pavilion - half way mark

In the three weeks since our last post, more blockwork has been completed including part of the patterned external walls. These are quite tricky because the design requires two different coloured blocks laid to a pattern that includes slotted windows and glazed bricks. The electrical wiring and mechanical ductwork has also been roughed in, as has the plumbing.

Merry Christmas

We made our own Christmas cards this year. The idea was to create a card that can be assembled into a three dimensional shape. This year we opted for a star.

The steelwork has been erected, except for the verandah area, which was taken down for galvanising. Now with the roof on, the internal blockwork can continue without being slowed down by weather.

We visited Euroa Brickworks to look at colours and profiles. We were also shown the process and the materials used to create the bricks.

Construction of the Mornington House is almost complete, with the external painting and internal fitout nearing completion. Some of the detailing was altered during construction, which gives it a slightly different look.

New Community Pavilion at Tallangatta Valley

We have been engaged to design the new Wyeeboo Community Pavilion at Tallangatta Valley, which is about 20min. from the township of Tallangatta. The interesting thing about Tallangatta is that it was moved in the 1950s to accommodate the expansion of Lake Hume. The new pavilion is to be built on the site of the existing football clubhouse, and the trusses (originally constructed in 1917) will be reused and expressed in the new building.

Barrymore Sports Pavillion, Greenvale

A progress update this week.  The structural steelwork is well in progress and scheduled for completion at the end of this week.  Next week, we hope to see the brickwork and blockwork commence..
