The project
TPG Architects designed a new grandstand at Cairns Hockey Park after a consultation-led master plan identified it as the heart of the site. It links the Reef and Rainforest pitches and holds spectator seating, a clubhouse bar and a kiosk, beside a new amenities building and entrance.
A butterfly roof expresses the way the building hinges between the two pitches. Raised a storey above the ground, the grandstand lets people pass underneath, while its upper level meets a terraced lawn, The Hill, to form a large outdoor room for gatherings, markets and team talks.
