Lomatia Pavilion

The Lomatia Pavilion is a new venue and storage facility located at the edge of Lomatia Park in Springwood. The pavilion, commissioned by Blue Mountains City Council, is designed to meet the needs of a range of passive and active park users.

Principled approach
In partnership with Council and the various park user groups we developed a list of design principles. These principles focused the needs of the users and inform the design process.

• Design a multi-sided building-in-the-round that balances diverse user- groups and a variety of views.

• Balance the ability for the pavilion to quickly open up and feel welcoming, against the need for security and graffiti resistance.

• Acknowledge traditional park pavilion building forms in the provision of a contemporary design that utilises cost- effective and durable materials.

• The pavilion should be visually engaging and catalyse future park use by the public and growth in club memberships.
