The new Marian College is an innovative architectural project created for a Catholic girls' school that had been destroyed in the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes.

With sustainability at the forefront of the project, it was essential to retain the original structure to align with cost, design, and environmental priorities.

See how our team contributed to this project and how Fireshield® TimberClear helped preserve the structure’s natural timber.

The Gunnery is a three-story State Heritage building on Sydney Harbour in Woolloomooloo built in 1900.

The building is to be a contemporary art facility with expanded exhibition spaces, increased artist studios, and multi-use spaces for education and digital connectivity. The refurbishment removes layers of non-original and redundant building elements to bring the building back to a more original state.

The project needed a solution that would the structure to maintain the existing timber, floorboards, floor joists, and trusses.

Our experts delivered a specific design solution using our pigmented coatings to protect and reduce the char rate of existing historical structural timber members, providing the fire rating required. The protected timber could then either be left exposed, top-coated in any colour or enclosed behind a suspended ceiling, making it the ultimate versatile solution.

Fireshield® TimberOne is a single-coat, water-based clear coating system designed for light-coloured timbers like pine. It offers a Group 1 surface rating and can be applied as a single coat or with an additional topcoat for high-wear areas.

As a Green Star-rated product, its low VOC content aligns well with modern green building standards. Unlike solvent-based systems, there's no need for extended area closures due to vapours, which can significantly impact project schedules and building operations.
