AJ+C were invited by Northern Beaches Council to participate in a design competition for the Warriewood Valley Community Centre, as one of 5 selected architects. . Our design takes inspiration from the topography, history and culture of Warriewood. It captures the story of the natural features as well as the human occupation of this place. Our design is characterised by a big roof which provides a powerful sense of togetherness for the diverse range of people and activities that will give life to the centre. . Our proposal is a cost-effective, practical, durable and flexible building that addresses the functional brief and technical constraints of the site, and is additionally imbued with the joyful and unique identity of the Warriewood people. All layout and planning decisions were based primarily on responsible sustainable design considerations which would ensure the building’s life-time carbon footprint would be reduced as much as possible. . Congratulations to @terroir_ , the winner of this invitation only competition. . This Friday 13 March, AJ+C will be hosting a presentation evening as part of our ”Design Studio” series, inviting all 4 firms to present. We look forward to learning from 4 different design approaches to the project. .
