Located in Sandringham, Australia, Bayside Police Station was designed by fjmt – Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp. The more public elements of the station are composed within an overarching formal frame, addressing the primary street and lifting the scale of the building to the adjacent Masonic Hall.

The building has been designed to create an inviting civic building that clearly articulates a police presence as a natural part of the local community it serves. Great care has been taken to ensure the mass and articulation of the building respects and sits comfortably within its suburban context.

The splayed form of the south facade has been carefully designed to offer a welcoming expansive gesture to the community while articulating the materiality of the street; terra-cotta, timber and glass. The dramatic form offers a clarity of entry and offers glimpses of the police at work.
