AWARDS

Eric Martin & Associates was formed in 1998. It is the determined policy of the company to provide quality design solutions and practical advice, based on clearly stated information, so that it is easily understood by clients, fellow professionals and the community. Advice is provided within the timeframes established for projects and guided by a QA System to ensure quality projects are delivered on time. The company is active in promoting architecture and design within the community. The awards are for projects we have been principal consultant for and some that we have been sub-consultant for.

TOCAL HOMESTEAD, NSW
Our work on this project was to convert an old hay shed into a first class venue for a variety of uses, particularly an interpretation and visitors centre and also a function centre. We utilised our extensive experience in conservation and adaptive re-use to ensure the heritage values of the building were maintained while transforming the structure into something more practical and comfortable for modern usage. This project also utilised energy efficiency principles in the design.

The Visitors Centre has won numerous awards including:

2010     The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism
2009     
The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism
2008     
The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism

The project is referenced in the NSW Heritage Council and the Institute of Architects' New Uses for Heritage Places. 

The success of the venue has led to the conversion of the nearby Old Dairy into a Visitors Centre to extend the capacity of Tocal to hold functions for the community.
