A flexible and functional superyacht marina
Challenge
Superyacht marinas cater to a variety of user groups, with diverse needs and requirements. The design challenge for this project was to integrate all facilities on a compact urban waterfront site. Long term flexibility in berthing and land side uses, also informed the ultimate design outcome.
Insight
The scheme contemplates a robust geometric form defining the Rozelle Bay waterfront with clear and unambiguous edge definition along the waterfront promenade. Such urban design imperatives will reinforce the sense of security and provide a safe public domain for operators and users alike.
Solution
Placing generous balconies on both levels of the marina created new flexible space – and opportunities for views across the water. The marina houses a range of facilities positioned for easy operational access, and the public can now view superyachts berthed at the marina via an accessible boardwalk.

Design inspiration
Design inspiration
The buildings are designed within a contemporary idiom, articulated in response to their context and expressing the Sydney Harbour maritime environment. The proposed glass, steel, timber and masonry finishes will reflect the maritime character and adjacent port infrastructure, articulating the lively character of this precinct and its proposed uses.
