The man heading the design of the project is CKDS director Caine King.
Mr King has welcomed the recent announcement of stimulus funding to build the second stage.
The complex, under its design plans, will soon be expanded to include a multi-use indoor sport, recreation and event facility, bringing much-needed jobs and investment to the region.
Mr King said the project was a highlight for his company because it was a first-of-its-kind facility for the Central Coast.
“CKDS is truly dedicated to encouraging developments on the Coast and seeing the region further develop and expand its offerings.”
The design features of the include baseline Environmental Sustainable Design principles of cross ventilation, natural light and thermal mass.
“This will reduce the need for additional running costs and ultimately reducing the carbon footprint of the complex.
“Good architectural design is about gaining maximum benefit within a given space, with the current design of the complex, there are opportunities for solar installations and water tank collection points from the roof to be added at a later point.
“The CKDS team is constantly focused on getting the balance right between innovative design, commercial considerations and sustainability, which this site truly achieves” Mr King said.
“With a multipurpose space such as the Regional Sporting and Recreation Complex, there most definitely had to be a balance between a venue that can facilitate regional and state-level sporting events and a venue that can entertain and seat 1700 visitors,” Mr King said.
Other projects on the Coast which CKDS has designed include Rockpool Apartments at Terrigal, Sé in Terrigal and Bonython Tower in Gosford with more projects for the region to come.
