Alchemy Construct acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we build – the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation and the Wadawurrung people whose Country extends across Geelong and surrounding regions. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise their enduring connection to Country.

 

We believe building carries responsibility – to place, to people and to the future. For us, that means listening and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture and taking action to help create an industry that is fairer and more inclusive.

 

The spaces we deliver shape how people live and work. They influence who feels welcome and represented. We are committed to ensuring our projects and our practices reflect respect, equity and genuine opportunity, and that the legacy we leave is one we can stand behind.

A beautiful, brand new kindergarten and family centre designed with the surrounding environment in mind.

Alchemy was engaged to deliver the new, purpose-built Wellington Child and Family Hub in Mulgrave for the City of Monash. The project is designed by the talented AOA Christopher Peck Architects to replace the existing aged kindergarten that had insufficient capacity for the increased demand in the local community. Initial works required demo of the existing Wellington Preschool and Mulgrave Maternal Healthcare buildings, and Alchemy managed works carefully from the outset, given the site is surrounded by residential properties and local shops, so all site activities and deliveries are keeping disruptions to an absolute minimum.

The new Hub offers brand new kindergarten rooms, maternal, child health and specialist consulting rooms, a community playgroup room and multi-purpose family room, all purpose built and will provide a truly state-of-the-art Childcare and Family facility. Ancillary works included a welcoming yet secure entry foyer, supporting amenities, outdoor education landscape areas and associated civil and site infrastructure services works.

This facility is the first of its kind in Monash and demonstrates a commitment to improving the accessibility and quality of early childhood services in the growing population of the Monash municipality. A particular focus is the major works around some established and wonderful trees, and the site team are doing a great job to protect these mature specimens.

Luxury living by the Clubhouse.

Lifestyle Communities Deanside is purpose-built for older Australians who want to keep living their fullest, most connected lives well into their retirement years. Alchemy was commissioned on a design and construct basis to build new amenities for Deanside homeowners as well as the new clubhouse and surrounds. These now feature indoor and outdoor pools, spas, a steam room, a cinema, a gym, a lounge, and games and activities rooms, as well as outdoor recreation areas and courts.

Working alongside DKO Architecture, we executed a design concept inspired by the Australian landscape’s raw, earthy colours and textures. Working in a D&C capacity gave us great opportunities to advise the client value management and the resolution of specific detailing. Now, Lifestyle Communities Deanside residents have the chance to embrace five-star resort-style R&R, year in and year out.

The conversion of a civil engineering hydraulic warehouse into a living laboratory.

This was an incredible project for our team to work on. Designed by DesignInc this project involved the conversion of an old engineering shed into a bio-filtration research showcase.

The design was a ‘living scaffold’ which houses a green roof and wall that captures and filters rainwater for a variety of experiments. Would you believe these facilities conduct research on moisture mapping that NASA can provide satellite help with. The piping and water tanks systems are some of the most sophisticated used in modern science.
