Recognition and Award-Winning Projects
What did Versatile Structures win in 2020?
At the 2020 Specialised Textiles Association Awards for Excellence, our team won five Excellence Awards, the most awarded to one company in the history of the program. The awards recognise technical skill, design excellence and innovation in the Australian textiles fabrication industry.
Noosa Botanic Gardens
Winner, Commercial Shade Sails or Structures. Working with Noosa Council and its engineers, we used 3D modelling to fit the structure around an established tree canopy and rare, light-sensitive plants, and built a special scaffold to protect them during construction. Noosa Council also won the 2020 IPWEA Queensland Excellence Award for a project under $1 million.
Australia Zoo Tented Camp
Winner, Banners, Flags, Inflatables, Fabric Art. We had 15 days to inspect the site, quote and install an asymmetrical tent in natural fibre rope and Australian canvas. With no machinery access, the footings were dug by hand.
Peppers Kingscliff
Winner, Domestic Blinds and Awnings. We replaced a corroded membrane structure with a motorised retractable awning fitted with a sun and wind vibration sensor, fabricating the steelwork in-house and managing council approvals.
Domestic Pool Membrane and San Kai Japanese Restaurant
The pool project, winner of Domestic Tension Structure, is a custom waterproof sail that shades the pool, acts as a leaf guard and gives privacy. San Kai, winner of Commercial Blinds and Awnings, received a post-free, all-weather structure, 3D modelled to keep out wind-driven rain and installed outside trading hours. See more in our projects.
