Client: S.A.S.H. Tilley & Wills
Venue: Greenwood Hotel. Sydney
Dome Cover: Fabric Solutions
Dome Frame: The Dome Company.
Challenge
Erect a dome to fit an existing raised octagon shaped platorm
Bolt to dome to existing foundations
Limited access, no space for crane or Dome Company lifting equipment
Solution
A dome was designed to exactly fit the existing raised platform
All materials had to be hand loaded onto site. No vehicle access within 50 metres.
Expansion bolts and brackets were embedded in the sides of the raised platform and ratchet tie downs used to secure to the dome frame.
A combination of truss lifters and muscle power were used to raise the dome level by level with the cover on top and being unrolled to each successive ring.
Setup and execution
The “Igloo” drew capacity crowds during the winters of 2022 & 2023
