TOPCOURT precinct structure for the AO 2026.
Designed as a large-scale temporary stage and crowd space, the build combines heavy-duty black steel trusswork with layered blue shade sail systems that completely transform the atmosphere underneath. From wide angles, the structure feels massive. Up close, the detailing starts to stand out.
Integrated rigging throughout the roof system supports lighting, audio, LED screens and full stage production infrastructure, all engineered to operate reliably across long summer days, heavy crowds and constant movement.
One of those builds where the public experiences the atmosphere, but underneath it is a serious amount of planning, fabrication and coordination holding everything together
