Hillview Quarry Gatehouse

Location Mornington Peninsula VIC
Project Completion 2002
Project Size 200m2
 
Project Description This extension to a 1970s administration and gatehouse building was constrained by existing driveways, an underground petrol storage system and a weighbridge. Vertical expansion was the only feasible option.

Unique ten tonne precast rammed earth panels were manufactured on site and installed onto a new steel frame, suspended over the existing building.
