Construction of a two storey extension to a thriving community centre consisting of a general purpose sports hall, changing facilities, crèche facilities, library, meeting rooms, café, general office and administration rooms. The architects employed the use of contemporary detailing in the new façade and utilised finishes such as high quality brick, timber cladding and aluminium curtain walling.
Extensive refurbishment and re-configurations to the existing building also formed part of the contract. This modernised the existing building and gave new bright and spacious accommodation to the ground and first floor areas. Refurbishments entailed removal of some sections of walls, upgrading of the areas, new doors, windows, curtain walling, new glass panels, new cladding & partitions, new counters and reception upgrade.
