Kenilworth Facility

This project was a competition proposal for a hinterland rest-stop on the Sunshine Coast and involves the placement of a small single storey structure on top of a new mounded earth berm. The berm incorporates ramps with a 1 in 20 gradient which ascend the required four metres above natural ground level. The building is cantilevered off both sides of the top of the berm, providing an elevated and shaded promontory from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape. To occupants of passing vehicles it is an elevated marker in the landscape, with its contrasting white and coloured tiled surfaces.
