RAAF RICHMOND CINEMA REFURBISHMENT Case study

Background • RAAF Base Richmond is entered on the Commonwealth Heritage List (CHL) for its historical, design and social significance (Place ID 105653). • The site was purchased by the Commonwealth in 1923, becoming the second military air base in Australia. • RAAF Base Richmond is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military air base located within the City of Hawkesbury, approximately 50 kilometres north-west of Sydney. Situated between the towns of Windsor and Richmond, the base is the oldest base in New South Wales and the second oldest in Australia. The base is home to the transport headquarters RAAF Air Lift Group, and its major operational formations, Nos. 84 and 86 Wings. The main aircraft type operated at the base is the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Richmond is a regular venue for air shows and has at times been mooted as a site for Sydney’s proposed second international airport. The Cinema • This cinema, built in the 1940s, is a timber framed hall designed in the vernacular style typically employed by the Commonwealth during the 1930s and 1940s. The roof is clad with galvanised corrugated metal and the walls are clad with weatherboards to window sill height. The upper wall areas, originally asbestos cement, have been reclad with fibrous cement sheeting. It is believed that the building was relocated to this position from elsewhere within the Base. • The basic fabric of this building included half-timbered walls, timber window frames and doors, simple rectangular building plan, and gabled roof form. • The building’s interior has been substantially altered although the general layout of the spaces remains basically intact. • Characteristics of 1940s interiors should be considered during any upgrade of interior fittings and finishes/furnishings. • This building is currently located in a traffic island and therefore, during major works, a reconfiguration of traffic flows around the building is required.

CAPABILITY STATEMENT

The old London Chambers is a fine example of the Federation Free Classical style that has been given a level of distinction due to the expressive use of brick and stone throughout its facades and that has retained a substantial amount of original external fabric. Zone elected to design and construct various alternate solutions for joinery and services to accommodate the heritage aspect of the building and not impede or obstruct any views from seated areas. It is one of two imposing purpose designed banking buildings that were constructed around 1911-1912 in this part of Oxford Street, the other being the former Union Bank of Australia at 21 Oxford Street. Zone opted to provide locally sourced and custom made furniture to reduce the long lead time possibility and also match the lavish 1920s style of the fit out. Zone were intrigued with the structure of the building and the original form of construction. Imposing three/four storey Federation Free Classical style building situated on a prominent wedge shaped site with a steep fall. The two upper levels are constructed of face brick and are regulated by alternating pilasters and bays of single windows. Decorative sandstone trimmings including window architraves and pilaster bases and capitals contrast with the brickwork. The pilasters support a simple horizontal moulding above which rises a wide band of plain stone capped by a denticulated cornice. It was realised during the start-up phases of the project that the Structural Steel component of the mezzanine was designed incorrectly by the client’s engineer. Zone elected to engage our own engineer to problem solve and re-engineer the structure to accommodate and in turn save the client time and money with the construction

CAPABILITY STATEMENT

Innovations • The design called for a solid wall to extend to the underside of the slab which had a floor to ceiling height of 5.4m. • Upon investigating above the existing ceiling it was evident there were a large amount of existing services running along the underside of the slab above which resulted in this being unable to occur. • Zone provided an alternative solution to create an L-shaped wall above the grid height, to manoeuvre around the services and extend to the slab, which was approved by the Defence Security Consultant. Result • Zone successfully delivered the new office space in accordance with the scope & the design prepared by local architects, Capezio Copeland.
