Impressive Details in Concrete Roof

Located on the Tarrawarra Abbey site, the conceptual design for the building was developed in response to recent grass fires which passed dangerously close to the site in 2009.

Utilizing the inherent protective qualities and thermal mass of in-situ concrete external walls, the design complements the existing timber buildings on the site and provides a more robust sanctuary. Designed as a fire shelter, the contemporary design cuts into the gentle slope of the site and is topped with a planted green roof.

Details

The green roof adds to both the fire resistance and thermal performance of the building shell. Other ESD initiatives include natural ventilation and roof water storage tanks for irrigation & landscape purposes. Double glazed windows are protected by distinctive copper shrouds and protective screens where required to comply with BAL requirements.
