Image Use
The images have been commissioned to document the architectural design intent and spatial experience of the Jukambi Sports Precinct. They are being used across:
-Architectural portfolios and marketing materials for Deicke Richards
-Client communications and promotional content for John Paul College
-Potential award submissions and editorial publications
-Digital platforms including websites, social media, and industry presentations
The photography focuses on capturing the relationship between structure, materiality, and human use particularly the integration of large-scale timber elements, passive design strategies, and the way students and spectators occupy the space.
Jukambi Sports Precinct
A generous, open-air structure anchored by a rhythmic timber frame, this project creates a sheltered ground for play, gathering and pause. A finely detailed glulam post-and-beam system supports a deep, corrugated metal roof, casting long, graphic shadows across the coloured courts below. Steel tension rods and expressed connections add a lightness to the structure, balancing its scale with a sense of precision. Beneath, a durable palette of painted concrete and asphalt surfaces is softened by planting and the surrounding landscape. The result is both robust and quietly refined an everyday civic space shaped through clarity of structure, warmth of material, and the way light moves across it throughout the day.
