Technical Resources Computer Aided Design and Drafting PTW Architects maintain a state-of-the-art computer network. A suite of up-to-date software allows the efficient production of architectural documentation and high quality presentations. We utilise the latest AutoCad Revit Series to produce 2D drawings as well as 3D Building Information Models (BIM). BIM allows us to produce coordinated drawings from a 3D model that reduce clashes and RFIs on site; we can also schedule and analyse BIMs over time (4D) and for cost (5D), leading on to post-construction Facilities Management. Quality Management We are committed to quality in all aspects of our work. A Quality Management System is in operation which reviews and cross checks all stages of the building process from original design through to documentation, construction and ultimately post-occupancy evaluation. Our quality system is based upon AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008. It includes an Environmental Management System in accordance with NSW Department of Commerce Environmental Management Systems Guidelines. Value Management Our value management unit is available inhouse for all major projects and has proved valuable in restructuring projects to realign cost with strict functional requirements.
Programming We have a long history in successfully designing and administering multidisciplinary projects. This expertise encompasses in-house project management, construction and documentation programming skill, enabling the firm to establish realistic milestones for the benefit of the client, the consultant team and the construction manager/builder. Library and Research Facilities An up-to-date reference library is maintained to provide a broad collection of relevant books and periodicals, including: technical and design publications on building types, recent design trends and technical innovations; authorities; standards; regulations and guidelines; archives of drawings on microfilm and CDROM; and product literature and samples.

The PTW team possesses the following essential criteria for the successful procurement of this project:
PTW Architects
A knowledge and experience of the special requirements of sporting facilities. Direct experience has been acquired during the Sydney 2000 Games, where PTW worked on the original Bid Master Plan, original Bid Stadium design, the implemented Olympic Park Master Plan, Olympic Stadium competition, facilities for athletic warm-up, Baseball, Modern Pentathlon, and all the swimming venues used for the Games
Olympic Experience PTW Architects worked in several capacities for the architectural preparation for the Sydney Games. In association with major architectural firms both in Australia and internationally, such as Cox Richardson, Donovan Payne, HPA and Ellerbe Beckett, PTW worked on both master plans and the actual venues for the Games. The firm also has a strong background and continuing involvement in sports and leisure architecture. PTW is also experienced in working in joint venture with consultants as well as successful delivery of projects under the demands of tightly controlled budgets and programs. PTW was involved with all major aspects of master planning, precinct planning and detailed building design for many of the Olympic facilities. These activities commenced in 1991, during the pre-bid phase, and are continuing with final work at the Olympic Village, Newington and are one of four invited architectural firms investigating Design Scenarios for the future configuration of Sydney Olympic Park. Prior to the bid, PTW participated in the preparation of a master plan for a proposed arrangement of facilities located in a ‘sports park’ precinct at Homebush. This document was a key part of Sydney’s successful bid. This plan also located the Sydney International Athletic and Aquatic Centres that were built for the bid to demonstrate Sydney’s enthusiasm for the Games. An 80,000 seat main stadium was also designed as part of this process. In association PTW delivered several of the venues for the Games bid at this time, including the Sydney International Athletic and Aquatic Centres, which were used for warm-up and swimming finals respectively. After winning the right to host the Games, PTW had ongoing involvement in several aspects of the master planning at Olympic Park and the site of the Athletes Village – Newington. A master planning charette was held and subsequently a master plan development group, including PTW, was formed to test and clarify the principles that PTW Architects
would form the basis of future development of Olympic Park including sports facilities, transport infrastructure, the New Sydney Showground site, commercial development and landscape concepts. The consortium CPTC (including PTW) developed the master plan for the New Sydney Showground site. This site became the new home for the Royal Agricultural Society to hold its annual show. It was also an integral part of providing facilities during the Olympics including venues for sports such as Baseball, Modern Pentathlon, Basketball, Volleyball, Handball, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Badminton; the main press centre; and corporate sponsors village. CPTC also did the design and documentation for the arena facilities at the Showground, including the Show Ring which was used for Baseball and Modern Pentathlon.
In association PTW produced the master plan for the Olympic Village at Newington. Then with worked to coordinate the efforts of other architects involved in the process for the zero lot housing built. PTW also designed one of the perimeter apartment blocks. In addition to the aforementioned, PTW delivered another venue for the Games. PTW were architects in association for the redevelopment of Ryde Aquatic Centre as the venue for Water Polo preliminaries, including the Olympic overlay for this venue. Hence the firm was involved in the design of all the venues used for aquatic sports during the Games. PTW has also been awarded the role of “Specialist Consultant – Venue Overlay” for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games after an international tender process.

While doing so, the building offers a public friendly environment, and mediates between the public and this private building, rather than imposing a strong commercial imagery in a tranquil residential environment. The 120 meter long curving low rise building, serves as a buffer between the private golf course

6 million AED Date
2008 PTW Architects provided the architectural and interior design for the upgrade of the prestigious Caracal shooting club in Abu Dhabi, which offers a 10 and 25m simulation range for target pistol and laser shooting on international competition standards. A viewing gallery for visitors overlooking the main shooting range is linked to a lavish lounge area and generous amenities. The underlying concept of the curved shaped walls and the building form derives from the pistol shape defining the Caracal brand, and the visitor experiences the changing of the space as he proceeds through the staged security zones of the club. The use of metallic finishes and reflective surfaces make reference to materials associated with shooting. Atmospheric lighting accentuates the luxurious leather fabric finishes and warm dark timber tones selected for the members’ lounge, emphasising the elegance and sophistication of this state of the art facility.

The Arabian Legend Equestrian Centre Masterplan
Location United Arab Emirates Consultant PTW Architects Client Royal House Cost $200 Million(AUD) Date 2007 (Competition) Horse Concept: Woven across the site and into the physical form of some of the buildings and spaces is a series of Bedouin stories: “When Allah desired to create the horse, he summoned forth the South Wind. ‘Here is the handful of wind’. And God created there from an Arab horse”. Another tale, telling of the loyalty and the courage of the Arabian horse, is the tale of the bloody-shouldered mare. This is symbolized by the large lake body between the retail centre and the business park, this oval space contains the ‘life’ of the centre. The story of “Al Khamsa” refers to the five favourite horses of the prophet Muhammad. This is symbolized in the masterplan by the large water bodies enclosing the luxury resort hotel. The equestrian park forms the forest park which represents the horse’s tail. Major arterial roads are located around the body of the horse, providing the aerial reading of the horse shape. The Bedouin tribes used decorative bridles on their Arabian Horses with colorful rosettes. This is symbolized in the masterplan with the retail area representing the head and the individual retail arcades areas depicting the bridles.
