Curved and Acoustic Linings from Supawood

Supaline Hoop Pine plywood wet seal panels line the eaves.

Magnificent contours define iconic multi-purpose sports hall

Arresting Curves dominate the large multi-purpose sports hall at Abbotsleigh School for Girls, Wahroonga, NSW. SUPAWOOD's SUPACOUSTIC acoustic panels line the interior and SUPALINE smooth panels feature strongly on the exterior.

Reminiscent of their international award winning Milson Island Recreation Hall, Architects AJ+C have drawn from this successful design and at Abbotsleigh implemented the concept on a vast scale. They have created a unique sporting facility which finds its place within a long-established school environment by using materials and finishes to harmonize with the surrounding bushland setting.

Having worked closely with SUPAWOOD on the Milson Island project, AJ+C again chose SUPAWOOD for their expertise in supplying curved and acoustic linings in large quantities to a short timeframe while maintaining consistent quality.

The roofline of the building forms a wide eave down either side which concludes in a sweeping curve following the curved line of the southern end of the building. Here SUPALINE in external grade Hoop Pine Plywood and finished with clear Wet Seal have been used to line the eaves perfectly curved to suit and the natural timber finish reflects the timber used throughout the interior of the main hall. At the other end of the building the wide eaves wrap around and extend into a shelter roof for the grandstand seating, the SUPALINE plywood again lining the underneath.
