MEYER TIMBER WAREHOUSE

This project presented the unique opportunity to design and construct a 20,000m2 warehouse for clients in the timber wholesale business.Despite being a relatively standard warehouse layout, the use of timber for the entire construction was an unconventional move aimed at highlighting its potential in projects usually reserved for steel.

Specialised Timber Fabrication constructed box-beam portal frames from Hyspan LVL, with a span of 32m and bay spacing of 15m.3 of these box beam grids fitted together along the width of the warehouse to span an almost 100m distance. Over 1000m3 of LVL and plywood was used during fabrication.

This project was awarded the 2018 Innovative Structural Design from the Timber Design Award.

Tennis HQ Australia

This eight-storey redevelopment of Tennis HQ Australia constructed in 2016, was apart of the Victorian Government's Melbourne Park precinct. This would provide long-term security for the Australian Open event Administration and Media building, creating a new northern face that will be seen by tens of thousands of rail travellers.

With approximate area of 8,700sqm, the building was part of a $700 million redevelopment of Melbourne Park, which included full renovations to Rod Laver Arena by Cox Architecture and a footbridge over Batman Avenue designed by John Wardle Architects and NADAAA in collaboration.

FACTORY OF THE FUTURE

As one of the most original timber projects Specialised Timber Fabrication have undertaken, the eye-catching Swinburne “Factory of the Future” dome was constructed completely out of prefabricated timber elements; from a curved timber substructure with curved timber ply skin covering it.

The structure was modelled in Finite Element software and detailed with both standard framing connectors, custom brackets and innovative self-drilling screws up to 400mm in length. The LVL ribs were precisely CNC cut on all sides, while the 2-way curved plywood panels were laminated on a custom jig to develop the complex curvature.

The "Factory of the Future" received the 2015 Australian Timber Design award in the ‘Excellence in the Use of Timber Products – Timber Panels’ category.

Located in a suburb of Melbourne, The Courtyard and Garden House by Delia Teschendorff Architecture constructed with the intent of integrating sustainability, flexibility, and evoking a sense of natural beauty. The environment provides a versatile living space for a modern family.

FCS certified Australian hardwood timbers have been used throughout the home, and timber lined ceiling are created allowing for a striking visual. Materials were chosen for their warmth and inviting qualities.

The U-shaped design wraps around a central north-facing courtyard. This means the residents get the full experience of the outdoors, that seamlessly connect to the interior of the house giving plenty of natural light and a home that feels flawless.
