Wattamolla Visitors Precinct

Client: NSW National Parks

Architect: Conybeare Morrison (CM+)

Location: Royal National Park NSW 2233

Service: Construction

Sector: Government Commercial

Completion: 2019

The scope of works for this project included the demolition of the existing amenities building and construction of a new amenities building at Wattamolla Beach in the Royal National Park. The building was designed and constructed as an architectural feature within the park, having a minimal impact on the surrounding environment and tying in with the natural setting. Honouring the indigenous significance of the National Park, the land was blessed before the breaking of ground. 

The building is constructed from large precast concrete panels, with a rough sawn Oregon timber impression to the external faces.  A large structural steel roof sits above the panels, allowing for the amenities to take advantage of natural lighting, and the tree scape to be seen between the two features.  Fibre cement sheeting fixed in an offset pattern lines the ceiling, providing a long-wearing architectural feature. The bathrooms are linked with custom-made tallow wood timber screens, and a bespoke concrete basin framed by a concrete portal.
