URBNSURF
Overview
URBNSURF Melbourne is one of Australia’s most ambitious and distinctive developments, the country’s first urban surfing park delivering world-class surf experiences for all ages and abilities, and just minutes from Melbourne Airport. URBNSURF is a multi-use precinct, blending sport, retail, hospitality and education. A key architectural feature across the site is the use of converted shipping containers and modular structures, repurposed into highly functional buildings.

Key Facilities
- Front entry and admissions
- Surf Academy facilities
- Three Blue Ducks restaurant building
- Rip Curl Surf Shop
Larnec was engaged to supply personal access doors across these container-based structures, supporting both the functional demands of the site and the long-term durability required in ahigh-exposure, coastal-style environment.
The Challenge
- Converted shipping containers requiring doors that integrate seamlessly into non-traditional structures
- High-traffic public access, spanning retail, hospitality and education use
- A need for longevity, reliability and low maintenance over the life of the precinct

The Larnec Solution
- Compatibility with container construction, allowing for straightforward integration into steel structures
- Long service life, suited to public-facing, high-use environments
- Ease of installation, helping streamline build programs and reduce on-site complexity

Larnec supplied personal access doors purpose-suited to modular and container-based buildings, offering a robust and practical access solution across multiple buildings within the URBNSURF precinct.
