Woolooware Bay is set to transform into a vibrant destination like no other. A future hub of life, activity and entertainment and one of the largest waterfront transformations currently underway in Sydney. Woolooware Bay Town Centre is a master planned development including approximately 625 residential apartments and a 17,800sqm retail centre with an anticipated end project value of $752 Million which will form a vibrant new Town Centre for the Sutherland Shire.

The Art House officially opened in May 2016 in Wyong, the heart of the Central Coast, and has the aim of providing a professional performing arts’ space for the community, as well as bringing national and international touring productions to the Central Coast. The Art House is a 500-seat theatre and 130 retractable seat studio with exhibition foyer, meeting room, shop and bar.

The development of the Aquatic Centre marked the Centenary of Pymble Ladies College in Sydney incorporating Olympic swimming and diving pool, water polo facility, fitness centre and learn to swim pool. The centre is designed to international Olympic standards with state of the art technology, video and lighting systems.

Congratulations to MPA on winning the MBA award for the New Foyer and Porte Cochere at Mounties at Mt Pritchard. The winning award was in the category of Construction between $5M-$10M and was one of six won by MPA on the night.

Haron Robson were part of the consultant team which delivered the refurbishment and repositioning of “Mounties” for The Mounties Group in 2016. The club boasts the largest membership of any club in the state.

Completed in 2015, Haron Robson lightmatters were commissioned by Architect, Saunders Global, on the basis of innovation and uniqueness: to attain “A feeling of brightness” rather than conventional illuminance as key to achieving a good customer experience, revisiting the store, increasing the products purchases and reducing overheads by increased energy effectiveness.

The lighting design approach to the Garrison Church was something of a contradiction. It would have been easier to add lighting from the existing points and minimise the impact on appearance, as well as the costs or complications of installing new lighting points.  It was decided that the compromises inherent in using the existing points meant any new lighting solution could risk appearing as an unsympathetic add-on to this heritage space.

The recent 2016 MBA Awards saw Paynter Dixon win the award for the $15M-$20M category in Construction for the extension of the Travelodge at Bankstown Sports Club. The masterplan included extending the existing four-storey hotel over the club to eight-storeys. The building was originally built in the 1990’s with structural components of the building designed for the capacity of the additional floors.

Earlier this year ISPT’s development team set-out to develop the ultimate end of trip (EOT) facilities as well as a framework for a consistent approach to rolling out EOT across their portfolio. The aim was to enhance the commuting experience to their buildings and do this ahead of an Australia wide branding programme for this offer.

With winter just around the corner, there’s only one thing on our minds here at Haron Robson HQ: when will Vivid Sydney and Sparc Design kick off for 2014?!?

It’s that time of year again, and excitement is building here at Haron Robson HQ for this winter’s VIVID Sydney festival. In its fifth year and with the program almost tripling in size, VIVID 2013 is set to be the biggest and best yet!

‘Waterfront transformation’…’Lifestyle destination’…’Emphasis on sport, health & fitness’… Not the phrases one would usually associate with the redevelopment of a leagues club. Yet those are exactly the terms used to describe the changes afoot in The Shire, with the redevelopment of the Cronulla Sutherland Leagues Club’s land holdings set to raise the bar for the industry.

Forming the first stage of a large waterside development on the western shore of Homebush Bay, the Quarterdeck buildings at Wentworth Point Marina have recently been launched to much enthusiasm from those keen to live a ‘Riviera lifestyle’ in Sydney.

Champagne and cocktails were par for the course as Christian Dior Couture, part of the behemoth luxury group LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, recently celebrated the opening of the first Dior flagship store in Australia, with over 250 VIP guests and the fashion media in full force.

Everyone seems to be whispering about Energy Savings Certificates (ESC’s), but few seem to understand the system. Fewer still are taking advantage of the scheme’s benefits. The Hilton Hotel in Sydney is an exception, and their pro-active approach to energy efficiency and ESC-creation has enabled them to cut energy use and upgrade their lighting system, for virtually no capital outlay.

The well-trodden footpaths of Pitt Street Mall will this month be quite a lot brighter for the steady stream of commuters and Christmas shoppers, after the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, switched on the new catenary lighting system on Thursday, 3rd December.

With the lights twinkling, the tinsel sparkling and the presents overflowing the confines of the Christmas tree 'zone' (we're engineers and designers, we like to create zones!), it's definitely feeling Christmassy here at Haron Robson HQ.

At the biggest event of the year for the lighting industry, Haron Robson's lighting design team walked away with another IES Luminaire Design Award for their Vivid Festival light art sculpture, for the second year running.

In mid – 2011, Haron Robson was engaged to upgrade the power supply to a building and that enquiry led to us to lighting the refurbishment of the landmark Sydney restaurant Pruniers, which now known as Chiswick Restaurant and operated by Matt Moran and Peter Sullivan.

The annual National Trust Heritage Awards celebrate the contribution of those involved in projects which promote the conservation of Australia’s environmental, built or cultural heritage, and this year saw entries from large corporations, small companies, government bodies and individuals.

Our team was again recognised for their lighting design skills when  IES: The Lighting Society  presented Haron Robson with Lighting Design Awards for our lighting designs at Bankstown District Sports Club: Grand Ballroom and the Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

Rooty Hill RSL Australia’s largest RSL club, announced the completion of its environmentally tri-generation power plant on Tuesday 21st September 2010. Tri-generation is the simultaneous production of three forms of energy: electricity, heating and cooling from a single system. It is nearly three times more energy efficient than a coal-fired power station.

Earlier this year Haron Robson - lightmatters® was awarded a NSW IES Luminaire Design Award for St Peters Cathedral. This special luminaire (light fitting) was developed in conjunction with Clive Lucas Stapelton and Partners during the restoration of this classic Horbury Hunt designed building. The purpose of these awards is to promote quality in the design and manufacture of luminaires within NSW. It is the second time Haron Robson have won this award and follows awards for lighting installations received in late 2009 for Bankstown District Sports Club's Grand Ballroom and TZG's Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

From 1 May the new BCA 2010 came into force with tighter energy limits for lighting. Haron Robson's lighting design studio has developed a new lighting energy calculator to assist our Clients in meeting these new targets.
