Gledswood Homestead
Dating back to approximately 1810, the Gledswood Estate encompasses numerous significant structures, among them the homestead, which has been transformed into a winery. Partridge undertook a comprehensive evaluation of multiple buildings within the estate and offered valuable recommendations. Additionally, we provided crucial structural documentation for the reconstruction of the dilapidated verandas of the homestead. This […]
Wrigley’s Building
Engaged by the contractor, this 1927 reinforced concrete framed building required a design for strengthening the existing roof slabs to accommodate a trafficable roof and additional deadloads. Introduction of new steel or concrete beams would detract from the aesthetic of the original heritage building, consequently the solution developed by Partridge involved epoxy fixing carbon reinforcement […]
Christian Dior
Culwarra Chambers is Sydney’s first ‘skyscraper’ which wraps around the older heritage listed Surry Hotel. Partridge designed a series of Sika Carbodur carbon fibre strengthening strips (1.2mm thick) which were applied to the subject masonry wall. This strengthening work allowed us to demonstrate that the wall had sufficient strength to resist the loads. The solution […]
Martin Place Christmas Tree
Partridge have been involved in the design and certification of the Christmas tree at Martin Place since 2017. Having evolved through the years, the current tree towers 25 mteres above revelers on the ground as the centerpiece for the Christmas celebrations – the equivalent of almost 8 storeys! Partridge tackled the many structural challenges associated […]

Bunurong Operable Façade
Partridge collaborated with Tilt Industrial Design in engineering this large curved glass feature that functions as a floor-to-ceiling framed glass wall when closed. Its ingenuity lies in its operability, as the windows can slide down to waist height, transforming into a stunning glass balustrade. Weighing two tonnes each and measuring 25 metres in length and […]
Blackheath Studio
Overlooking the Megalong Valley, this structure is the result of many hours of dedicated work on an approach to affordable housing, using pre- fabricated cross laminated timber construction. The house is nestled into a sloping site, with a concrete raft slab on ground and concrete block retaining walls around the basement excavation. The remainder of […]
Scalabrini Village
Scalabrini Village’s facility at Drummoyne is a ground-breaking aged care facility that specialises in and caters for residents with dementia. Partridge was engaged as both the Structural and Civil engineer to design the buildings and oversee the construction. The whole process, from preliminary design to handover at the end of the construction, was completed in […]
Tom Wills Oval – Amenities Block
This new amenities block doubles as a storage facility at an Australian Rules football pitch at Sydney Olympic Park. We provided design, engineering drawings and site supervision. The project involved erosion and sediment control, certification of infiltration system, effluent pipe and fittings, buried flexible pipelines, plumbing and drainage.
Yarra Oval
This project for the Randwick City Council required design of roof drainage and stormwater disposal for the Yarra Oval storage building. Our role was to design a system that ensured water runoff from the roof is properly collected, transported, and disposed of in a safe and efficient manner.
