The art direction for Mona Vale’s new Surf Life Saving Club celebrates nature, community and life on the northern coast of Sydney. It uses built form to frame
the landscape and showcase Australian beach culture. Similarly to Flock Hill Homestead, this content suite saw the award winning project published worldwide.

“Sydney’s Northern Beaches is an area with a distinct local identity, deeply tied to its physical surroundings. Surf lifesaving clubs play a central role in community life – providing vibrant and fun social gathering places, whilst also delivering critical surf lifesaving operations that see everyday local heroes watch over the community as it plays. Functionality sits at the heart of the design to deliver an enhanced experience. By drawing the community, the park and the beach together, the new facility will continue to support an important safety and community service while also being a more inclusive people-first space – breaking down barriers to welcome new people from right across the community into the club.”
