Bunurong Chapel
Melbourne, Australia
Project of the Day on Jan 11, 2018
Project Featured on Jan 11, 2018
TILT was engaged to design, manufacture and install an operable glass façade for a chapel in Bunurong Memorial Park, Melbourne.
The façade consists of three large curved windows which form a floor to ceiling glass window in the ‘closed’ position, then subsequently slide down to waist height, creating a balustrade in the ‘open’ position.
Each curved window weighs approximately two tonnes and is 7m long x 2.5m high. The windows are raised and lowered by means of synchronised electric actuators.
A significant amount of time was invested in cross referencing the interface between the products and ensuring that weatherproofing and connection details were well resolved.
As the chapel is cantilevered over a lake, the design offers patrons open air access to the environment as desired, and protection from the elements when necessary.
This flexibility in design enables the client to offer a unique facility capable of making the most of all weather conditions.
