A Combined Endeavor

The Harbord Diggers project incorporated work from some of Australia’s leading architects. CHROFI and Architectus worked on the design of the project, with JMD design working as a specialist landscape architect and Fender Katsalidis involved as the interior architect.

Click-on Battens were used throughout the project to create the clean linear textures Sculptform products are famous for.

A Cohesive Connection

A major feature of the Harbord Diggers project is the seamless transitions between the interior and exterior areas of the club. Blackbutt timber Click-on Battens are used along the edge between the interior and alfresco dining areas creating a natural flow.

The exterior areas take advantage of the breathtaking views provided by the location in Freshwater, north of Sydney.

A Natural Aesthetic

A natural aesthetic permeates the entire Harbord Diggers project. Features such as green walls compliment the timber Click-on Battens throughout, adopting the current trend of biophilic design.

The large sweeping curves of the structure combined with the rounded pillars laden in timber battens create a sense of natural movement and create a comfortable, natural aesthetic.

Our experience working with the Sculptform team was fantastic. Their understanding of the design ambition and knowledge of their product made the specification and sampling process easier.

The versatility of Sculptform cladding and battens allowed us to use timber unrestricted by the building form, creating a more cohesive design outcome.
