Watawan
At the entrance to Newcastle Art Gallery, a striking six-metre-wide suspended fish sculpture now welcomes visitors. The work features 30 aluminium fish arranged in a spiralling school, visible from both the ground floor and the first-floor corridor. Partridge worked closely with the artist and fabricator to engineer solutions that both protect the integrity of the […]
Kinyingarra Guwinyanba
A central feature of the Newcastle Art Gallery’s new space is Kinyingarra Guwinyanba by Quandamooka artist Megan Cope. The installation features 44 timber poles, each about two metres long, adorned with empty rock oyster shells. Part of Cope’s ongoing oyster-shell-based sculptures, it explores the impact of early colonial lime-burning on Aboriginal middens and oyster reefs […]
Corbel House
Designed by Nick Bell Architects and built by PMD Build, Corbel House is located on Sydney’s Northern Beaches between a sandstone slope and Peach Tree Bay. Partridge provided structural engineering for the concrete and steel home, resolving the challenges of a narrow and steeply sloping site. A series of curved off-form concrete corbels extend up […]
Ewen Park
Partridge provided structural and hydraulic engineering services for the new outdoor learning centre at Ewen Park, Hurlstone Park. Led by Canterbury Bankstown Council with Sam Crawford Architects and Sue Barnsley Design, the project transformed a former tennis court into a public pavilion beside the Cooks River. The pavilion, designed with a broad roof canopy, accommodates […]
Symphony of the Dreaming
Symphony of the Dreaming, part of Vivid Sydney, transformed Dreamtime narratives into light, sound, and story through sculptural columns, dynamic lighting, and an evolving soundscape. Partridge provided structural engineering for the installation, engaged by Tilt for the Museum of Sydney. Our role was to ensure the installation’s striking forms could be safely realised while remaining […]
Sydney Park
At Sydney Park, Partridge provided hydraulic engineering services to support the transformation of the site into a functioning urban wetland and community space. Their role covered the design and coordination of systems for stormwater harvesting, treatment and reuse, serving both environmental and community needs. This included work on the Munni Channel, where flows through the […]
Light Horse Park
For the revitalisation of Light Horse Park in Liverpool, Partridge provided hydraulic engineering services that addressed the site’s unique conditions and supported its transformation into a resilient, inclusive urban park. Working with Gallagher Studio, MW Architects, and Cred Consulting for Liverpool City Council, we developed a stormwater management plan and level design that integrated water-sensitive […]
Mosman House
Partridge provided structural engineering for the Moruben Road residences in Mosman, designed with Peter Tout Architect and Turner Hughes Architects and built by David Campbell Building. The steep hillside site required excavation of more than 3,000 tonnes of soil and rock, including a 10-metre-deep lift shaft and tunnel. Partridge adopted temporary batters and vertical rock […]
South West House
Partridge, as structural engineers working with architect Killing Matt Woods and builder Green Anvil Co, transformed South West House, a heritage residence in Tempe. Our structural design enabled a new lightweight second story and improved spatial flow. To support the new level without extensive strengthening, we used laminated veneer lumber for the timber construction. This […]
Double Bay House
Partridge provided structural engineering for this four-level coastal residence by Stanic Harding Architects on a tightly constrained corner site. Loose sands required deep piles, and a high water table necessitated a secant pile wall for the basement and pool excavation. The basement was designed to resist buoyancy, with detailed analysis ensuring stability throughout construction. The […]
Coogee House
This renovation in Coogee involved complex structural challenges on a constrained site. Working closely with Meacham Nockles and One Up Building Partridge provided engineering for major alterations including a Juliet balcony, pool, bridge, new garage, and landscaped rooftop. Key engineering works included retaining the existing floor structure while integrating additional beams and strengthening to support […]
Palm Beach House
Partridge collaborated with Tregale + Associates and Michael Smith Constructions on this residence at the tidal edge of Pittwater. The project required careful engineering to manage a challenging site and complex structural demands. Excavation was stabilised with a secant pile wall, followed by a blinding slab and continuous waterproofing “bathtub” for the basement. Dewatering was […]
