2. Fitting In |
A
designer being applauded for succeeding in the
difficult task of making a project stand out to
the client, whilst simultaneously blending into
its environment is David Walker. His Building
Designers Association award winning home in the
Blue Mountains, New South Wales, is a great example
of how this can be done. See it at:

3. Environment For Life |
A
forward thinking home builder is impressing both
the building industry and the wider public with
their energy efficient designs. 'Next - You're
Home', which is a collaboration between award
winning South Australian builder Ross Lang and
acclaimed environmental architect John Maitland,
has recently unveiled their seven star rated demonstration
home in central Adelaide. Find out more at:

4. LYSAGHT® Adds Practical Experience To Mobile Roll
Forming Service |
BlueScope
Lysaght's first mobile roll forming project in
Queensland has helped leading roofing contractor,
Fultoncote Pty Ltd, complete a major job in minimum
time with maximum productivity. The project to
roof the new Virgin Blue maintenance hangar at
Brisbane airport required sheet lengths of 56.5
metres, which could not have been achieved without
on-site roll forming. Read how BlueScope Lysaght
were able to assist at:

5. Shopping Centre Project Includes a Long Line of
Roofs |
One
of Sydney's major shopping centres is in the midst
of a A$350 million redevelopment that will double
its retail area to almost 100,000 square metres
and create a new landmark retail destination in
Sydney's Greater West. The redevelopment of Westpoint
Blacktown uses LYSAGHT LONGLINE 305® profile for
prominent sections of the new centre's roof. Read

6. Push Boundaries, Without The Risk |
BlueScope Lysaght is encouraging design innovation
with our new LYSAGHT® Design Test Centre. The
centre was developed to prototype any roof design
that your imagination creates and ensure our product
performs under these specific conditions, allowing
you to push design boundaries, without the risk!
If the tests are successful the Lysaght Design
Test Centre will issue a technical report and
certification to give peace of mind to builder
and architect alike. Find out more at:
