Kingspan’s Insulated Panel and Façade System was used to create a contemporary, dynamic façade for the Western Australia Institute of Sport (WAIS) in Perth. The system was instrumental in bringing the Institute’s award-winning, linear design to life using strong, streamlined materials that mirror the physiological elements and performance of the elite athlete’s body

Located at HBF Stadium within Perth’s elite sports precinct, the $33.7 million building was constructed in 2014. It provides first-class training facilities to support Western Australia’s elite athletes reach peak performance in the lead up to major national and international sporting events.

The project’s design, which received a Public Architecture Award at the Australian Institute of Architecture (WA Chapter) Awards in 2016, was a collaboration between Sandover Pinder in Perth and dwp | suters in Melbourne.

Having used Kingspan Insulated Panels for past projects, the architectural team confidently specified four colours from the Evolution Axis panels range for the building’s side façade and the Trapezoidal Roof System.

“The roofing material was a particularly important consideration for this project, particularly over the aquatics area where issues can arise due to the humid and corrosive environment,” said Michael Chamberlain at Sandover Pinder.

“Unlike other roofing materials, which require a further soffit or ceiling treatment, the Kingspan Trapezoidal panels are finished on both sides. This means they could double as a roofing material and internal ceiling that met both thermal performance and aesthetic requirements. This not only delivered a clean, streamlined finish, but sped up the project timeline and allowed other trades to access the building sooner.”

“From there, we specified Kingspan panels for the Institute’s dramatic exterior walling. The single panels allowed us to bring the design to life with fewer joints for a more streamlined finish and because the panels are manufactured offsite, installation was relatively quick,” stated Chamberlain.

The combination of earthy and metallic coloured Kingspan panels created subtle variations in texture and character to lift the façade. This provides a modern complement to the surrounding site, which is characterised by parchment blockwork from the eighties, big gum trees and grassy sports ovals.

Kingspan’s Insulated Panel and Facade Systems feature a proprietary PIR insulation core for superior, fire-safe thermal performance. The panels are finished with durable, high performance coatings and can be integrated with insulated gutters to provide a completely air and water tight thermal envelope.

“The Kingspan Insulated Panels team are very proactive and proud of their product. During this project, they worked closely with the builder and installers to iron out any challenges and ensure proper installation,” said Chamberlain.
