Two-storey redevelopment of the South Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, featuring durable materials and a design that harmonizes with the coastal environment, serving as a vital community asset since its opening in 2021.

The South Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club is a two-storey redevelopment set in sand dunes on the the original surf club site. The club opened in 2021 and has quickly become a much-loved asset to the South Brighton community.

The construction generally consists of concrete blockwork to the ground floor and lightweight timber framed structure for the first floor and roof, and a concrete mid-floor with timber decking.

Designing for durability formed a key part of the project – finding the balance of architectural design with maintenance and structural performance of the building materials over the building’s design life.

“Structural Design and Construction Support for the Christchurch Art Gallery Base Isolation Project On behalf of Fulton Hogan we wish to express our gratitude to you and your team for the substantial role you played in the successfully delivery of this project. Your willingness to engage with the wider project team, your prompt solution focused attitude and your attention to detail, have been instrumental in this accomplishment. Throughout the concept and detailed design phases of this challenging design/build project, you and your team never failed to deliver on time. The staged design was completed within the demanding milestones which laid the groundwork for the consenting and construction to proceed to target. Your ability to collaborate with other designers and stakeholders to achieve this was invaluable. Tremendous effort was made to arrive at a design that is safe, cost effective and buildable, whilst delivering to the technical requirements. We were particularly impressed that it was never too much trouble for your team to meet and work closely with our construction staff at short notice, whether it was to enable some late innovation or overcome the inevitable hurdles presented throughout the construction of such a unique and complex project Please pass this thanks on to all at Ruamoko. We look forward to working with you again in the future whenever the opportunity arises.”
