Part Two: The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games 25th Anniversary - The Equestrian Centre

This is part three of Studio. SC's involvement, 25 years on since the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. 25 years ago, the first individual dressage events occurred at the Sydney Equestrian Centre, designed by Studio.SC.

Through meticulous planning, innovative design, and a commitment to excellence, a state-of-the-art complex was delivered that not only served the Olympic Games but continues to be a premier destination for equestrian events and activities today.

A respectful approach was taken to the preservation of this historic and sensitive landscape with gentle integration of buildings into the contours of the site, paying homage to the significance of this First Nations land.

The gentle curve of the main indoor arena takes its cue from the rolling and   undulating landscape. ESD initiatives were integral in the design; natural lighting, thermal comfort, water management and run off control were some of the visionary features of the Centre, along with the extensive use of rammed earth walls.
