The Allan Border Oval Pavilion is a new sports and community building for Mosman Council in Sydney, Australia. The building consolidates a variety of functions into a single, shared community facility that addresses both the traditional built context and the technical requirements for a contemporary sporting venue.
An analysis of historic and contemporary precedents showed that similar facilities were often served by two separate building types, being a grandstand and a club house respectively. The proposal combines these two sections into a hybrid type, with a hard-working and utilitarian concrete podium unified beneath a singular roof.
The roof references the pitched form of the two previous pavilions that were constructed on this historic site. To meet contemporary requirements for column-free views to the field, the roof is supported from the centre like an umbrella. In this way, a traditional presence is delivered to create an open and inclusive communal umbrella for the park, beneath which all the various community functions play out.
The use of concrete considered the potential for parts of the demolished pavilion to be reused in the new pavilion, with recycled rubble in the concrete mix and formwork utilising recycled roof timbers, that leave their board-form impression in the exterior surfaces.
