Our client wished to retain the exposed timber structure of this unique building whilst providing fire protection to an upstairs dwelling as required by the Building Code of Australia.
Timber joists and the exposed underside of the timber floor were coated with the CAP508 system to achieve an FRL of 60/60/60. This removed the need to cover up the structure with fire rated linings.
The heritage values of the Lavender Bay boatshed were retained while allowing adaptive reuse of the site.
