# Community-Centric Cricket Pavilions Winter Architecture Re-Designs a Space to Be Flexible & Modern By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-04-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cricket-pavilion References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/04/08/kinley-cricket-club-winter-architecture/) & [winterarchitecture.au](https://www.winterarchitecture.com.au/studio) A cricket pavilion in Melbourne is overhauled by Winter Architecture and Zunica Interior Architecture who are commissioned to enable a seamless design dynamic that can contribute to a lively community hub. The building of the Kinley Cricket Club has been identified as a heritage site, hence, during the update, the architects were concerned about preserving the noteworthy characteristics of the 19th-century structure. The re-design of the cricket pavilion looked for opportunities to open up the space to the public and attract crowds as a community-centric establishment. In it, individuals can enjoy the functions of a cricket club, a coffee shop, as well as a space for individuals to sit and socialize. To supplement these ambitious functions, Winter Architects produce a minimalist and modern aesthetic for the cricket pavilion.
