Talison Lithium Village

Dining Hall and Tavern:

• Architecturally Designed Dining Hall: The centerpiece of the village is a modern dining hall, designed to serve as both a functional dining space and a communal gathering area. The hall features a contemporary architectural style that is visually striking yet harmonizes with the natural surroundings. The design incorporates open, airy spaces that promote social interaction and provide a comfortable dining experience for the village residents.

• Tavern with External Beer Garden and Wrap-Around Veranda: Adjacent to the dining hall is a tavern that serves as a social hub for the accommodation village. The tavern extends into an inviting external beer garden, providing an outdoor space where residents can unwind after a day’s work. The beer garden is designed with a resort-like ambiance, offering comfortable seating, ambient lighting, and landscaping that enhances the overall aesthetic. Surrounding the dining hall and tavern is a wrap-around veranda, which not only adds to the architectural appeal but also provides additional shaded seating areas for guests to enjoy the outdoor environment.

Exterior Façade Design:

• Perforated Aluminium Screens: The exterior façades of the dining hall, tavern, and veranda are adorned with perforated aluminium screens, adding a layer of visual interest and modernity to the building. These screens are carefully designed to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the building’s exterior both during the day and at night. The use of perforated aluminium not only contributes to the building’s aesthetic appeal but also provides functional benefits such as sun shading and privacy.

Undercover Bus Shelter:

• Architectural Bus Shelter with Historical Integration: A key feature of the project is the design and installation of an undercover bus shelter that serves as both a practical transportation hub and a tribute to the local heritage of the Green Bushes area. The bus shelter is designed with an architectural flair that complements the overall village aesthetic. It incorporates Arimesh Platinum perforated photographic screens that showcase the rich history of the town and the original mine site. These screens provide a visual narrative that connects the village’s present-day functionality with the historical significance of its location, creating a sense of place and community pride among the residents.

Additional Considerations:

• Sustainability and Environmental Sensitivity: Throughout the project, there was a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental sensitivity. The design and material selection prioritized energy efficiency, durability, and low environmental impact. The use of local materials and references to the Green Bushes area’s history further grounded the project in its natural and cultural context.

• Community and Social Spaces: The project also focused on creating spaces that foster community and social interaction. The dining hall, tavern, beer garden, and veranda are all designed to encourage residents to come together, enhancing the sense of community within the village. The integration of local historical elements in the bus shelter further strengthens the connection between the residents and the area’s heritage.

• Future-Proofing and Scalability: The accommodation village was designed with future expansion in mind. The architectural and infrastructure elements are scalable, allowing for additional capacity to be added as the mine’s operations continue to grow. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the village can evolve in tandem with the mine’s needs, providing long-term value and functionality.
