WINNER - 2024 Sustainability Awards
We’re excited to share that Matso’s Sunshine Coast Brewery has won the Hospitality & Tourism category at the 2024 Sustainability Awards by Architecture and Design Australia
This project has been a massive team effort, and we couldn’t be prouder of the result. Collaborating with Knight Wilson Architects, Place Design Group, and a team of talented makers and consultants, we transformed the heritage-listed 'Joe’s Waterhole' into a brewery, restaurant, and beer garden that champions circular construction and celebrates the local community.
Key features of the project:
- Solar Passive Design: Natural ventilation and thoughtful orientation create comfortable spaces year-round.
- Hybrid Structure: A combination of renewable timber and recyclable steel for durability and flexibility.
- Recycled Materials: Blockwork, concrete, cladding, and steel were reused wherever possible, alongside locally made Blackbutt timber trusses.
- Adaptability: Designed as a flexible, future-proof shed form.
- Biophilic Design: Strong connections to nature through garden views, natural light, and landscaping.
We’re thrilled to see this project recognised for its sustainability and contribution to hospitality design. Huge thanks to Good Drinks for trusting us with your vision and to everyone who played a part in bringing this to life.
