Light architecture by Danpalon by the seaside
The project called for a two storey temporary hospitality pavilion in the
Birdcage enclose sure during the 2006 and 2007 Melbourne Cup Spring racing carnivals. The
agreed brief was to provide a facility of unsurpassed comfort, amenity and architectural
quality within five months with a marquee type budget. Chris de Campo of de Campo Architects
discusses the challenge; "to meet ambition, budget and time constraints inventive necessities
took hold to achieve the anticipated result."
Chris explains that the final solution was to "customise a mature light weight aluminium
structure technology to meet our two storey cubic form and designated floor voids which
could then be cut down and re-used as standard items in the hire industry."
The structure was able to accommodate an inflatable PVC roof plane that included a central
clear section to the sky with primarily Danpalon cladding around the walls.
