Concord Oval 2023 winner
Congratulations to our ARCH project team for Concord Oval for being announced World Design Awards Winner – Sports Design Built and ArchFrame Design Awards Gold Winner – Sports Design Built.
This high-quality, flexible facility is designed to cater to a wide range of users, from professional sporting teams and elite athletes to community sports, young people and the broader community – responding to the vision of these diverse groups now and into the future.
The three main concepts of the architectural design strategy: porosity; identity; and integration, created a distinctive response that blurs the boundaries of public and private space.
The planning and design of the Concord Oval Redevelopment focused on the community, adaptability, and flexibility of spaces and represents the outcome of the integrated interdisciplinary approach led by lead architect and design director Ivana Simkovic.
