Three low, timber and glass pavilions can now be found peeking out of the sand dunes in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. This is Mona Vale’s new Surf Life Saving Club , which has recently been completed by architecture studio Warren and Mahoney in Garigal, Cannalgal and Kay-ye-my country.
‘Sydney’s Northern Beaches is an area with a distinct local identity, deeply tied to its physical surroundings. Surf lifesaving clubs play a central role in community life – providing vibrant and fun social gathering places, whilst also delivering critical surf lifesaving operations that see everyday local heroes watch over the community as it plays,’ says W+M principal Sven Ollmann. ‘Functionality sits at the heart of the design to deliver an enhanced experience.
Ensuring the building is also physically open – both through large windows and a selection of outdoor terraces and seating – was equally important, so that visitors can feel the presence of the sandy beach and blue seas at every turn. The materials selected for the scheme supported that, offering texture and warmth.
‘The project needed the utmost durability in terms of materials. Materials including timber and textured raw concrete were chosen to reflect the natural environment and to work with, as well as resist where necessary, the harsh coastal environment. We took existing elements like the sand dunes, sun and wind into consideration to ensure an improved user experience,’ Ollmann says.
