Spencer Park Surf Life Saving Club
This project was undertaken in collaboration with Colab Architecture and was a labour of love with the process extending over a six-year period.
The project set out to demolish the existing concrete block ‘box’ and reconstruct an inspiring building for the expanding club; one that would respect the surrounding environment and sit lightly on the sand dunes.
It was imperative the building function as a surf lifesaving club providing the required view lines and service space, but also as a community space. The Spencerville Community Centre was lost in the 2011 earthquake so the building needed to accommodate this function also. The result is a vibrant welcoming space that enhances the daily life of its local community.
