RQYS- pavilion

RQYS- Pavilion

Brisbane

Another favourite project by RSA.

The Royal Queensland Yacht Club had an alfresco outdoor pavilion previously designed by RSA back in the 90's.

The existing membrane had passed its use by date so we were approached to re-skin the existing pavilion.

The brief evolved to utilise the existing membrane structure and extend the space to an all weather pavilion attached to the existing clubhouse.

RSA developed the design then tendered a specialist fabricator to construct the membrane roof while RSA detailed the ring beam, glazing and screen designs

Windsurfing containers

Windsurfing containers yacht club

Brisbane

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.

New clubhouse – RQYS

New clubhouse - RQYS

Brisbane

RQYS was able to obtain an existing building - the Port of Brisbane Entertainment Center at Fishermans Island, Brisbane.

The catch was that the building had to be removed by RQYS and the lead time was short. The existing building was sawed into five pieces and transported by low loader to the waters edge at Fishermans Island, then the parts were floated across the bay to the Manly boat harbour. Then the building was re-sited and put back together utilising the best parts and some additions.

RSA was particular in cutting the building in the middle and orientating the building to best fit the footprint available in the new location

RSA handled all siting approvals, engineering coordination and prepared details during the construction.

Hanworth Guesthouse

Hanworth heritage guest house

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
