Caloola Reserve Sports Pavilion

Articulated as three complementary structures, this multisport pavilion integrates harmoniously with the surrounding sports fields. Its design considers the cricket and soccer fields to the north, as well as the tennis courts to the south. The central multi-purpose social space, features additional support areas for kitchen, storage, and amenities positioned on the sides.
The pavilion’s aesthetic is defined by a minimalist colored zinc cladding, drawing attention to the main central structure. The two subordinate buildings, serving as storage and change rooms, are clad in modest ribbed monument Colorbond. Their vertical faces are dynamically angled and colored, adding a distinctive visual appeal to the structures. To realize this project, a hybrid structural solution was employed, combining steel and timber frames. The design incorporated portal sections alongside pinned and braced sections, ensuring structural stability. The entire structure was constructed on top of a reinforced raft slab that gradually stepped down towards the adjacent playing fields.

Challenges on the crucial aspects of design included creating a structure that aligns with the low-profile roofs and effectively managing the food drainage. The design also incorporated 14-meter-long beams for the social rooms, which had to be transported to the site without splicing by the contractor.

ANDREW GALL, Director

Argall was founded in 2017 by Andrew Gall, an engineer with a passion for complex design and breaking the mould. His work experience as a senior structural engineer across a variety of project disciplines made him realise there was a real need for a bespoke people and service-oriented structural engineering consultancy that would inspire sustainability practices and innovation often lacking in big companies.

This is over and above his experience in traditional procurement roles, his work with builders in the design and construct field, managing projects in sport, tertiary education, the arts and zoological fields, as well as community, commercial, residential and multi- residential enterprises. With such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of different design methodologies, he has the expertise to challenge the status quo in his new venture.
