Laurie Ferguson Water Playground

Modus delivered two custom prefabricated amenity buildings for Cumberland City Council's new Laurie Ferguson Water Playground in Merrylands, NSW, working alongside Context Landscape Architecture and head contractor CA-I. The scope included a custom Yarra 3 public toilet building with three cubicles (including a universal access suite with baby change facilities) and an integrated pump and maintenance room with chemical drum storage for the splash park's water treatment system, plus a custom Yarra 2 building combining two standard toilets, two family change rooms and two outdoor beach showers. Both buildings were finished in Colorbond Dover White with Dulux Sunshine Gloss yellow accents on doors, perforated privacy screens and bench seating, picking up the playground's vibrant palette. Vertical powdercoated aluminium fascia planking, aluminium ventilation louvres, hot-dip galvanised structural steel, anti-vandal hardware and external CCTV deliver the durability and security a high-traffic public open space demands.
