This project establishes a new 750sqm public deck and amphitheatre space constructed at the centre of Sorrento Quay Boardwalk, Hillary’s Boat Harbour. Exploring spatial flexibility in a public environment the deck is designed to accommodate a diverse range of public and community based events such as markets, car shows, boat shows, outdoor movies, ice skating, concerts, local school as well as community group gatherings and performances. As an urban scale gesture the space forms a new active focus for the complex both in a geographical as well as a functional sense. The deck is consciously located at low boardwalk level to establish a natural amphitheatre relationship to the surrounding food hall and public malls. The project incorporates timber decking on steel sub-structure and piling. A series of steel framed tensile shade canopies positioned over the stage and terraced seating have been designed to minimise their visual presence on the existing centre when viewed from the adjacent beach. This project extends on the Breakwater Tavern, Boardwalk and Bascule Bridge project previously establishing a continuous walkable circuit around the harbour by establishing a new active public orientated space at its centre. Piling and sub-structure constructed by Engineered Water Systems and above deck works constructed by Buckingham Re-Development Company.
