The Allan Border Oval Pavilion is a new sports and community building for Mosman Council in Sydney, Australia. The building consolidates a variety of functions into a single, shared community facility that addresses both the traditional built context and the technical requirements for a contemporary sporting venue. An analysis of historic and contemporary precedents showed that similar facilities were often served by two separate building types, being a grandstand and a club house respectively. The proposal combines these two sections into a hybrid type, with a hard-working and utilitarian concrete podium unified beneath a singular roof.
