The project was completed in readiness for the first home game of the Templestowe Dockers in Season 2011. The 100 year history of the football & cricket club that has been represented by different jumpers & crests were identified & celebrated in the architectural form & brickwork facades.

From the changing rooms, players burst through the brickwork run-thru facade on to the playing field. Seen from the Reserve entry, the building tries to start a Mexican Wave to generate match day spectacle. This building includes community & training facilities for the sporting clubs. The building aims to be a carbon & water neutral building.
