CI Partnership were commissioned to design a new, 20 room addition to the Young Federation Motor Inn located within easy access to wineries, orchards, and the historic sites of this nineteenth century gold mining town.

Our approach was to design a contemporary and high quality building providing luxurious and modern accommodation for patrons, this was in distinct contrast to the more domestic scale architecture of the existing Motel.

The new building addresses a street corner in Main Street over two levels. The street frontage has clean and crisp features of expressed steel members, folded ceiling planes and light coloured rendered walls. To the internal side of the Motel we have designed a sculptural stair and lift structure providing access to the upper level and creating a grand and clear entry statement for Motel patrons.
