PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Simple rectangular structures, mono-pitch roofs, innovative detailis, local recycled & sustainable materials. Outdoor spaces for intensive use. Buildings aligned east-west to minimise wester solar exposure in hot-dry climate close to equator. Although entered from south, clerestoreys facing north catching low-level winter sun & venting summer heat at top of spaces.
Eastern approach with parking under trees to north-east of field. N-S walkway axis link field & buildings - future expansion north along axis. Extended fill area on embankment above exploited in terraces to form activity courts & lookout seating over field.
Changerooms semi-excavated on field level with south-east verandah, angled to address triangular warm-up area facing field. Ablutions & change areas separated for multifunctional meeting/seminar/training rooms, with secondary rear entrances linked via natural ramp to mid-level consulting room. Independent consulting rooms have examination couch alcove, own toilet with possible shower, ample space for records & equipment. Can be expanded to west.Offices & kitchen next to mid-level terrace. Open-plan office space, options for inexpensive flexible screens between meeting & workspaces. Also extendable to west. Steel portal frame classrooms as open-plan “shed” between containers with tilt-up garage doors as walls & future partitions between. Expandable to east.
