Ormiston Rise Community Centre
Project Overview
Total Construction has proudly delivered the construction of a new Community Centre for Tranquil Retirement Group. The Centre incorporates an outdoor heated swimming pool, large community area for functions and gatherings including a dance floor, kitchen, games room, library, crafts room, hairdressing salon, separate lounge area with bar, BBQ area, multiple terraces and a meeting room within Ormiston Rise, a newly developed Retirement Village.
This was a traditional build with a combination of strip footing and screw piers to support the reinforced suspended concrete slab. A basement accommodates a bespoke ‘Men’s Shed’ and gardening room. External walls have been made using rendered blockwork with internal plaster board walls. The community and dining rooms spill onto a large al-fresco outdoor entertaining space with a BBQ and outdoor seating. The Community Centre has been completed with a range of contemporary finishes including stone bench tops, carpet and timber flooring, glass balustrades and streamline fixtures.
Overcoming Challenges
Total Construction was required to build the Centre within a live operational retirement environment which meant we needed to ensure regular communications with Village operators.
