ClubCOLLECTIVE December 2023
Paynter Dixon was recognised at the Master Builders Association's 2023 NSW Excellence in Construction Awards for a superlative club fit out.
The company was awarded ‘Construction (Commercial) – Interior Fitouts, $8 Million to $10 Million’ for the fit out of Petersham RSL Club.
The new RSL features restaurants, indoor and outdoor gaming lounges, an auditorium, and day spa. Patrons enter an elegant marble foyer, before venturing further into a stylish interior environment that impresses with the use of premium and imported materials, from hand-pressed mosaic tiles to velvet and suede finishes.
The main bar is adjacent to a glazed skylight courtyard, harnessing natural light and space. Outside, the building’s façade features an ANZAC-inspired mural in laser-cut aluminium. The delivery team oversaw the fit out of the 4,000 square metre ground floor venue within a residential building that was under construction directly above.
Diligent and resourceful, the team responded to the accompanying issues of waterproofing, interconnection of services, access and deliveries. Not without challenges, construction took place during the COVID pandemic.
This saw the availability of finishes – including multiple types of stone and tiles – impacted by supply shortages and incomplete overseas orders. Unphased, the team seamlessly sourced alternatives from local suppliers.
As noted by the MBA: “The issues presented were overcome with detailed planning and communications by the enthusiastic Paynter Dixon team. This has given the local area a club with increased membership which reflects the ambience created with detailed and quality workmanship.” Paynter Dixon has more than 60 years’ experience in the design and construction of exceptional hospitability venues.
