The Events space at the Grounds, Alexandria was created from an empty area in a historical space of a past locomotive workshop. It was transformed into a striking area in which to hold an event.
The works included basic demolition, screw piling, concrete and in-ground drainage in the early stage. This was followed by major structural works to form the new space above, which includes a meeting space and/or bridal party area. This was followed by installation of all the finishes including custom joinery, baked timber parquetry flooring, liberty stone render to the walls and ceilings, as well as the curved profile plaster and stone mouldings throughout the venue.
The delivery of such a venue for Sydney is striking, notably within a historic building. Whilst new, it maintains the character of the era in which the locomotives used this facility.
The works were well executed to a very high standard. A level of skill and application has been demonstrated to achieve the final result.
