lahznimmo architects were engaged by RMS in 2016 to provide lead consultancy services for the redevelopment of the Elizabeth Bay Marina. The existing facility was is in a deteriorated condition and in need of replacement. In order to meet continued operational requirements, the new facility was to be designed and constructed on a tight project time line.

Set at the edge of Beare Park, the existing building footprint and height set up the immediate expectation for the scale for the new development, particularly from the neighbouring residential community. Any increase in the building form, in particular width and height, would affect views from Beare Park and the residential developments to the south. The modest approach to form is then in keeping with the scale and setting of Beare Park, with the residential buildings the dominant backdrop; overlooking the park and marina, to the harbour beyond.
