Prime Build

This highly specialised fitout was delivered within a tight programme to be ready for the first semester of classes. We worked within a live tertiary environment and coordinated our contracted trades with the client’s direct specialist trades to ensure the new space was built to the highest professional standards.

A number of challenges were overcome in the delivery of this project, an example of which being the development and design of new structural steel posts to support the sagging timber endo skeleton, closely detailed and worked through from sketched plans all the way through to physical completion.

The acoustic performance elements of the project, such as textile panels, perforated boards and timber battens were designed in close collaboration with Macquarie University’s Head of Music and Recording. This project will now provide a specialised facility for sound recording, mixing, audio production for university students to utilise.

"Prime Build’s responsiveness and professionalism has made this project come to fruition with ease and also a great deal of fun and excitement"

Following full demolition of the existing structure, the Prime Build team set to work on the dramatically designed Protagonist Cafe project.
A highly technical structure completely floated over the heritage listed pavers. The building employed a steel and concrete ballast system to counter act wind loads whilst ensuring structural integrity.

From the dynamic Kaynemaile mesh curtain that surrounds the perimeter to the dramatic architectural lines of the stainless steel, every aspect was carefully considered and executed. We are proud to have delivered this powerful project in conjunction with the Arts Centre and Cumulus Studios.
