PROJECTS

Commercial/residential – two levels of commercial space for offices or showroom, 1 single bed apartment and 1 x 2-bedroom apartment.
This was an exciting project, implementing the design of renowned architect William Smart from Smart Design. The original elements of the heritage terrace were complemented by modern design elements to create functional spaces to work and live. In keeping with the brickwork of the terrace, the new design extensively utilises face bricks in an external curved blade wall, that creates a unique façade to the Building.
Restricted space on site was overcome by incorporating an open basement in the design. Jackal Constructions overcame the confined space for excavating below the existing building, by installing a temporary support structure. Lined CFA concrete piling and shotcrete enabled a sound, open space to be created, providing a strong foundation for the terrace and works above. The owner was excited to see the project come together.

An update and refurbishment of an existing Marina complex in Kirribilli. Jackal Constructions coordinated works to improve functionality and serviceability of the site. The complexity of harbourside working, in a marine environment was easily overcome. Importantly, timber wharves at the end of their service life were replaced by new steel piles, floating pontoons and more extensive decking.
Complementing the existing buildings, additional commercial spaces were created to house further office accommodation and marine-related worksites. Jackal led the process of design and construction of additional single-storey workshop space and a two-storey extension to the existing building.
The integration of the new buildings with the existing workspaces and the extension of trafficable wharves has maximised the functionality of the entire marina, whilst improving the overall look of the site which adjoins much used public space.
