Kurrawa Surf

Life Saving Club

The Kurrawa Surf Life Saving Club sits at the heart of the Gold Coast community, marrying civic, community and recreational functions in a place where the city meets the beach.

The building provides a new home for the Surf Life Saving community - patrol members, nippers and senior competitors - and for the club’s supporters who can enjoy the 600 seat restaurant, café, bar and gaming lounge along a prime Gold Coast beach frontage.

The Club has realised its brief for a bold and visionary architecture while maintaining references to its functional use as a local Surf Life Saving Club.

Key to the design was a generous, civic-scaled outdoor room, an extension of the public realm of the adjoining the parklands. The expansive, sculpted roof with a dynamic uplit sunscreen contributes to both the casual beach culture and lively Broadbeach street atmosphere.

The Broadbeach precinct is a key destination for residents and visitors to the Gold Coast and Kurrawa Surf Club will continue to play a key role in providing a quality hospitality venue for its guests as well as continuing our long and rewarding history as a successful Surf Life Saving Club in a state-of-the-art facility.

Cowboys Leagues Club Stage One

The Cowboys Leagues Club approached Arkhefield with the exciting brief of re-thinking the typical pub/club design. The new building exterior has given the Cowboys Leagues Club a new ‘face’, and the building has become an architectural beacon in the city centre of Townsville. The double height entry space signifies the new entry into the Club whilst the lobby space reflects the importance of the Cowboys Leagues Club for the community of Townsville.
