The Artie Smith AFL and cricket pavillion in Bombaderry by Local Architect South Coast in association with Barnacle Studio provides a gathering place for sports enthusiasts, families, and friends. Reflecting inclusive values, it welcomes people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and abilities as an integral part of a design that provides for multiple purposes and uses within a state level sporting facility. The pavilion is part of a broader masterplan and sports complex for Bomaderry which has heightened its amenity and potential scale of sporting events, whilst giving a sense of recognition and worth to a regional community.
Wrapping the buildings around the much-loved Sydney blue gums of Artie Smith Oval, the long roof line becomes a dominant element that provides continuity and rhythm as well as shade and shelter. Echoing the meandering escarpment line to the West it is integrated within a suburban context.
SCC council have noted to LocalArchitect South Coast….
