Bloc Design has recently been engaged to design a family residence in Hervey Bay on Charlton Esplanade, opposite Seafront Oval where a number of new residences have been constructed recently. The house will be designed in the Modern Queensland regionalism style, emphasising the "Modernist" movement design principles, with lots of outdoor living opportunities to take advantage of the views from this fantastic site. Traditional beach side natural materials and finishes have been requested by the client, which is much to our liking and make us very excited to bring this house to fruition.
Meanwhile we await practical completion of residences in both Townsville and Bargara previously designed and currently under construction. Image shows our proposed design for the Townsville house. Stay tuned for more updates to these projects.
The dedicated FIFO hub extension to the Fraser Coast Airport is now complete and due to be officially opened in the coming weeks.
The extension to the existing airport terminal Includes dedicated check-in and baggage handling facilities for charters, pre-boarding testing facility (drug and alcohol) and pre-boarding lounge area.
Originally this project was based on being a standalone building separate from the main terminal, which was then reconfigured to be an annexe to the existing terminal space for ease of operational efficiencies and accessibility.
We worked closely with council and stakeholders to ensure a successful project outcome and to provide a space which is flexible and caters for current demand and also forecast growth of the airport operations, particularly from the resource sector.
