Project Description: Piara Waters Stage 2 development, in the Shire of Armadale, Western Australia was for a New Sporting Pavilion that incorporated an Alfresco and Playground area. The shade structure links the Alfresco and Playground areas which has the visual appearance of being two structures but is in fact one steel framing design incorporating a barrel vault structure (covering 95.1 m2 plan area) and a saddleback structure (covering 82.8 m2) with a total combined plan area of 177.9 m2. Shadecloth was chosen as the fabric
What is the purpose of this project? The purpose of the project was to provide shade cover to a Alfresco and playground area as part a new Sporting Pavilion
What is unique or complex about this project? The steel framing design was the most complex and unique part – at one end it is supported off block walls and then extends out on main supports to meet the saddleback structure
Was there anything different or special about this project? The Visual appearance of being two structures but is in fact one steel framing design.
What were the results of the project? Achieving a unique look of two structures that is actually one creating a link between the Alfresco area and Playground resulted in providing the desired outcome. Kids can play while Mums and Dads can enjoy the café.
How did you contribute to the project: Fabritecture was responsible for the design of the complete structure however the builder provided the steel framework so detailing of the steel design and shop drawings was crucial. Shade structures where new to the builder therefore understanding the importance of getting connections details for the fabric and the coordination with the steel fabricator was all a learning process.
