ResidentialArt and Innovation
Midland Redevelopment - MRA Lights
Artist: Warren Langley Two spectacular new Midland landmarks, tall towers that blaze with colour at night, are the latest installations in the Midland Redevelopment Authority’s (MRA) public art program. | 'Touching Lightly'
Artist: Warren Langley Competition entry for Glassworks Canberra, designed as a shimmering pillar (chimney) of glass The concept uses an interactive glass suspended off a minimalist structure which displays little evidence of the glass support. Partridge Partners designed the frame as a steel support tower with an innovative bracket system to support the glass. |
Wells Creek Bridge, Lonsdale
Client: Frankston City Council Collaboration and structural design of pedestrian bridge over Wells Creek for Richard Goodwin. The bridge form is a cantilevered truss which becomes a catenary supported in part by an arch. | Union Hotel Roof
Architect: Richard Goodwin The project included a total renovation of the original hotel including a new two storey restaurant which was enclosed with a ‘parasitic’ shading roof sculpture fabricated from curved steel elements and enclosed with glass, metal cladding and shading structures. |
Stairs at 200 Crown Street
Architect: Hassell Pty Ltd A central steel box stringer supports cantilever timber boards. The balustrade is created with toughened glass pinned back to the stringer with stainless steel rods. | 'The Poise'
Artist: Warren Langley This project needed very close cooperation between the artist and Partridge Partners. The artist had produced the model and concept and also wished to construct it. This required us to analyse the structure and design the member sizes, help with the glazing fixings and lighting attachments and to also provide the complex geometry of a skewed parabolic volume so that cutting and welding of the stainless steel could be achieved simply and economically. |
'The Sky is Falling'
Client: Tendrill We were responsible for the design and attachment of the cable system which supported 7 balloons (up to 3 metre diameter) and 7 sculptures suspended above Angel Place, Sydney for four months as part of the 'Art and About' and Sydney Arts Festivals.
| 'Gravity'
Sculptor: Jonathan Leahey Structure review of steel plated structure including design of base support to ensure stability of the structure at various outdoor exhibitions, including Sculpture by the Sea in Sydney. |
Sculptures by the Sea - Bondi
"Odyssey" by Lee Tunks Partridge Partners have been associated with Sculptures by the Sea for many years as certifying engineers. We have developed a 'wind' map for the Sculptures by the Sea site at Bondi which allows us to determine the wind loading at each sculpture location.
| Mobile Wall Units, Sydney Opera House
Client: HR Dallas Industries The design and certification of a 4 metre high moving wall for the Utzon Room. The steel frame is supported on a track system recessed into the floor which maintains stability of the wall while allowing movement. |
Australian Chinese Ex-Servicemen Monument, Dixon Street, Sydney
Architect: Peter McGregor The monument, located on the corner of Dixon and Liverpool streets near Chinatown, is the first of its kind. It honours the 500 Chinese Australians who served in every arm of the forces, in every one of the wars of the twentieth century in which Australia was engaged. This monument comprises a 10-metre high sculpture with 380 light rods that spiral around a column. The structure symbolises water and the Chinese belief that relationships of reciprocity do not end with death. It is absolutely beautiful. | 'Parasite'
Architect: Richard Goodwin Roof structure at 110 Elizabeth Bay Road This roof project, currently at the design stage, involves a new roof structure constructed over the concrete roof slab of an existing building. The structure designed as a Parasitic sculpture by Richard Goodwin will be fabricated with a structural steel frame with a 5.5m overhanging cantilever. |
