位于Tigerland的Punt Road Oval的重新开发为里士满足球俱乐部的主题景观提供了动力。我们的愿望是植根于墨尔本的背景下的设计，以及引用人体的运动优雅引导我们到雕刻家克莱门特·麦德莫尔的作品。这是一条狭长的狭长地带，围绕着“椭圆形”路，使这一主题得以延续，当它从庞特路向MCG方向前进时，这座建筑在椭圆形的边界和AFL路之间扭曲和挤压。

Situated in Tigerland, the redevelopment of the Punt Road Oval fuels the themed landscape of the Richmond Football Club. Our desire is to root the design within a Melbourne context, as well as reference the athletic grace of the human body led us to the work of sculptor Clement Meadmore. The long narrow strip of land around Punt Road Oval allowed the continuation of this motif, with the building contorting and squeezing between the oval’s boundary and AFL Way, as it progresses towards the MCG from Punt Road.

这个设施是俱乐部丰富身份的下一个分期付款。这是一个正面的形象，从字面上建立一个胜利者的圈子，高地从赛后传统中汲取灵感。我们想象着这支队伍站在一个圆圈里，手臂缠绕在中间，一名电视摄影师在中间旋转，他们唱着：“哦，我们来自老虎地，战斗狂暴，我们来自Tigerland！”

This facility is the next instalment in the club’s rich identity. It is a positive image, literally building a winner’s circle, with the elevations drawing inspiration from post-game traditions. We pictured the team standing in a circle with arms intertwined as a TV cameraman spins in the centre, capturing them as they sing: “Oh, we're from Tigerland, a fighting fury, we're from Tigerland!”

由于里士满热情的粉丝群的贡献，设计开发变得更加有趣。“先驱太阳报”(Herald Sun)上刊登了一份初步设计，引起了老虎忠诚度(Tiger迷)的一片愤怒-在大楼的一边，弹奏的条形图案走错了路，这时，俱乐部身份的可辨性的重要性就被清楚地阐明了出来。人民已经发言，并通过完善的设计得到认可。

The design development was made more interesting by the contributions of Richmond’s passionate fan base. The importance of legibility of the club identity was spelled out loud and clear, when a preliminary design was published in the Herald Sun, prompting an online furore from the Tiger faithful – the playing strip motif was going the wrong way on one side of the building! The people had spoken, and were acknowledged through the refinement of the design.

这是尊重杰克戴尔站与继续红砖看台。红色变成了俱乐部身体的延伸，它的肌肉在俱乐部的颜色下面。它也可以被看作是对哈罗德·托马斯土著国旗的参考，该俱乐部在维多利亚州和中澳大利亚州建立了社区参与历史，特别是土著群体参与的历史。新成立的里士满足球俱乐部设有Korin Gamadji研究所，这是土著青年的培训中心，将成为提供职业培训和职业培训课程的生活技能中心。考虑到多种用途，重建工作从一种共同办公的精神演变而来，这丰富了它的规划功能，即专门用于足球使用、社区使用和大部分空间的区域作为灵活的区域，可以在不同的时间规划供所有各方使用。

There was respect to be paid to the Jack Dyer Stand with the continuation of the red brick grandstand. The red becomes an extension of the body of the club, its muscle beneath the club colors. It can also be viewed as a reference to Harold Thomas’s indigenous flag with the club having established a history of community involvement, particularly with indigenous groups, in Victoria and Central Australia. The new Richmond Football club houses the Korin Gamadji Institute, which is the training centre for indigenous youth and will be a life skills centrer offering vocation training and VET courses. Given the multiple uses, the redevelopment evolved from an ethos of co-location which enriches its programmatic function, with areas dedicated to football use, community use and majority of space dedicated as flexible areas able to be programmed for use by all parties at different times.

我们曾希望有一种清晰的建筑，能对那些愚蠢的人群说话，一种以身份和忠诚度为动力的建筑。它已经对一些人说过了，正如前维多利亚时期总理杰夫·肯尼特(Jeff Kennett)的评论所表明的那样：“天哪，我非常喜欢这个设施-它是如此的里士满，如此大胆。”

We had hoped for a legibility of architecture that speaks to the footy crowd, one driven on identity and loyalty. It has already spoken to some, as is evident in this review by former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett: "Geez, I just bloody love this facility - it's so Richmond, it's so bold, it's so audacious."
