MPA Website
MPA has recently completed a number of projects for clubs across New South Wales, with the aim of re-energising and revamping their look and offerings. With budgets ranging from $1 million to $11 million, MPA has been able to transform each club, making them relevant in a modern market. The results also turned the clubs into desirable destinations for previous non-club goers. MOUNTIES - FOYER & PORTE COCHERE With the current rise of bespoke and boutique restaurant styles growing more and more popular, Mounties in Mt Pritchard did not want to fall behind. Their drive to remain relevant brought them to MPA's door. Here, MPA was tasked with reviving their existing foyer, turning it into something modern, attractive and inviting to their guests. The team also constructed a sleek extension to the front of the building, consisting of feature skylights and metal awnings. Small but significant details were also made throughout, including a hand-laid cobblestone pavement, concrete planters and seat beds. MPA's expertise with integrating building works with ongoing businesses operations enabled the project to proceed efficiently without disturbing members of the club. The construction and weatherproofing of a structurally designed access tunnel allowed guests and staff to continue to enjoy the facilities as per usual. THE SHELLHARBOUR CLUB - VIP GAMING AREA As one of Illawarra's most popular entertainment venues, The Shellharbour Club wanted to give back to its patrons. They approached MPA for a new VIP alfresco gaming room and a refurbishment of the cashier's desk and existing internal and alfresco gaming areas. The refurbishment was predominantly for their gaming clientele. For this MPA incorporated elements of Feng Shui - to make them feel lucky. This included a water feature, landscaped garden and a large corten steel screen. It was a priority for both The Shellharbour Club and MPA that the club facilities and gaming machines remain operational during the renovations. By doubling MPA's working hours and adhering to a tight schedule, MPA were able to complete the task at hand with minimal disruption. BAU TRUONG RESTAURANT, MOUNTIES The brief was to launch a Vietnamese restaurant, Bau Truong, in Mounties, that had the look and feel of the streets of Saigon. Working collaboratively with the club, MPA was able to deliver these results in a shortened period of time and within budget. Not only were owners excited but patrons were also thrilled. The General Manager, Darren Marino, of Mounties Group even commented, "Nothing seemed to be too much of a challenge for the MPA team in completing the new Bau Truong restaurant at Mounties. A complex brief and challenging deadline were met with a proactive attitude and approached in a methodical manner. We love the new space! STARLIGHT AUDITORIUM, WENTWORTHVILLE LEAGUES CLUB MPA were tasked with the refurbishment of the Wentworthville Leagues Club Auditorium, the Starlight Room. The client had a pre-arranged design, with the club to remain fully functional throughout the works. MPA's early involvement allowed the team to thoroughly de-risk the project, and make sure all project drivers were subsequently met. High and low level works took place simultaneously, and this meticulous planning and efficient staging of works enabled the team to meet the client's five-week deadline. MPA's initial input was invaluable in meeting the tight program deadline, and ensuring the client's wishes were met every step of the way.
