Site visit: Warehouse in Clifton Hill

This is not an example of brilliant architecture, but it does show some standard construction techniques and had the advantage of being accessible because it houses a community circus that i know some people from.


An overall shot. I'm not sure what's inside the large boxed eaves, if anything?


A beautiful apex. This shot clearly shows the rigid connection of the rafters, as well as the purlins, the safety mesh and the under side of the insulation.

This is a photo of the corner stanchion to rafter joint. The girts are visible, as is the mechanism for the roller door.


This is the joint between the rafter and the stanchion. Note how the non load bearing brickwork has been set into the universal column.

The universal columns on the glass and metal clad facade are placed on the outside of the building.
