ON EDGE: PUBLIC SPACE IN APOLLO BAY

Project Description

Harbouring Krambruk a empts to address the underlying issues associated with the current development proposal of the harbour. This included upgrading the existing shermen’s co-operative building and expanding the sailing club to re ect the towns heritage, with the rest of the propositions contributing as part of the sites urban weaving, encouraging ecological sustainability and connectivity. These interventions have been designed thoughtfully to withstand the sites predicted 100 year storm tide inundation and a empts to make the Apollo bay foreshore a resilient, educational and appealing harbourside for locals and tourists. Through the development of an enhanced and thoughtfully articulated infrastructure development plan, a more coordinated e ort for environmental and heritage conservation can be made.

RECOVERY

The Abalone shery generates $6,000,000 for the local economy annually. However, over the years, shing and boating has become a contested subject in terms of the ecological impact of commercial shing and heavy tourism. The consequences of the 2019/2020 bush res and Covid-19 has led to large job losses due to the drop in Abalone sales.

Project Description

The Mallacoota Main Wharf Project a empts to acknowledge the tensions between locals and visitors, encouraging spaces for cohesion and stability. The proposal consists of three temporary and permanent architectural propositions that are connected by a walking path along the Mallacoota Coastal walk. The project focuses on educational opportunities for visitors in order to learn about how the town's history has been heavily intertwined with shing culture, improving social and economic viability as well as improved access along the coast. The outcome of the project serves to enhance employment opportunities for local shermen, provide them with the appropriate infrastructure they need and integrate sustainable shing practices in order to respect the lands integrity.

EARTHLY MATTER

Project Description

The Wollert Quarry Project is a housing project that involves the staged remediation of the Wollert Quarry whilst also challenging traditional approaches to housing on the urban fringe.

Very often, li le regard is given to the landscape in the aftermath of quarrying. Unearthing millennia old blue stone and sandstone, not only disrupts the land itself, it disrupts the those that depend on it. The Earthly Ma er studio analysed nuanced methods of extracting and utilising these earthly materials, whilst also paying careful consideration to land on which these materials were extracted. The Wollert Quarry Project focuses on the remediation of the Hanson Clay Quarry in Wollert and proposes a unique solution to not only remediation the quarry using materials from the quarry, but also addressing issues facing communities at the Urban Fringe.

In an aim to increase the biodiversity of the site, the land should be remediated using local native vegetation including: River red gum (eucalyptus), grassy soil plains, stony knoll and treed shrubland and Brackish wetland. These speci c types of native vegetation have been selected from a study on the neighbouring land. Over time, the quarry is to be rehabilitated throughout a series of stages, with grassland and vegetation being established rst.

ACCESSIBILITY + MOVEMENT

Project Description

The proposal relates to an existing single story weatherboard house. An occupant within the residence has limited mobility and therefore the proposed works have been considered to provide a new respectful entrance with equality and to provide excellent internal amenity and access. The building is a rabbit warren of rooms with 5x replaces and 3x chimneys and brick paved external areas all around.

The proposed alterations and additions are to modify the building for a disable occupant and allow the reuse of the existing structure as much as possible. The proposal includes a large open plan bedroom with an en-suite and robes to the western end of the house, the removal of the existing replace and chimney, to include a ceiling mounted personal hoist between these spaces. The main living space has a large accessible open plan living, dining and kitchen zone with new operable (automated) glass doors to the north. The access is further considered with automated access to wide spaces for movement and circulation as a high priority. To the rear is a new study space, a second bedroom and shared accessible bathroom, a light court was proposed to the rear to allow light, ventilation and amenity to these rear rooms with all external areas decked.

The proposed forms are recessive from the street with minor works. This addresses for a new gate, disability accessible ramp ways and a small glazed corner addition to the facade under the existing roof line and entry alcove.
