Point Boston Peninsular

MakMax Australia, Eagle Farm, Queensland, Australia

The project is a roof installation on a clubhouse facility on the Point Boston Peninsula.

The architect specified PTFE as the roof of the building for its sustainable qualities, including minimal resource use, the ability to transmit up to 17.5 percent of sunlight to lower electricity costs, and the product’s longevity. As the focal point of the development, the architect wanted to design something that would stand out. With the flexibility of tensile membrane, he was able to achieve the look he had envisioned.

The unique undulating awning framing of the building mimics the waves that can be seen through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that have a 180-degree view of the beach. Adding more interest to the building’s overall look are the two conical umbrella structures that make up the main roof canopy. The natural light illuminating from the ceiling gives patrons a new viewing experience.

The building looks fantastic and has generated many positive reviews from the architect, client and patrons.
