We’re excited to announce that Fabritecture took home THREE awards at the 2019 SuperExpo hosted by the Specialised Textiles Association on the Gold Coast, QLD Australia this year!
The annual industry awards dinner was held at the Star Casino in Broadbeach to celebrate and showcase some of the textile industry’s most innovative and exciting projects.
Of the 3 projects Fabritecture entered, we came home with an award for each one! We are always extremely humbled and grateful to be able to participate in industry events such as these. It’s a wonderful reflection on our team and the projects we complete when we win these industry awards.
2019 STA Winning Projects
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Winner in the Tension Structures 250sqm – 2,000sqm category
In 2018, the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast, QLD, welcomed a significant upgrade to the amphitheatre area of their increasingly popular free flight bird show Wildskies. Part of this redevelopment included upgrading the existing structure to a much larger shade solution that also complimented the renovations of the area.
