with a modern concrete frame that extends into dramatic cantilevers, forming a unique glasspatterned façade. “It required us to think outside the box—quite literally—to develop a solution that met the client’s creative intent while ensuring structural integrity,” Reynolds recalls. The project not only pushed conventional boundaries but also underscored the firm’s ability to deliver innovative solutions under challenging design parameters. Equally impressive is the Margaret Ames Centre at Immanuel College, championed by co-founding Director Neil Pearson. Faced with a constrained site and a geometrically complex framework, CPR Engineers collaborated closely with architects to transform a bold concept into a functional and aesthetically striking educational facility. “We had to reconcile the creative aspirations of the architect with the practical realities of the project,” Reynolds explains. The centre’s success reflects the firm’s commitment to preserving the design’s intent while remaining mindful of budgetary constraints and technical challenges. Long-term collaborations have also been a cornerstone of CPR Engineers’ success. A standout example is the enduring partnership with Redarc Electronics in Lonsdale. “I remember walking a vacant site back in 2005,” Reynolds recalls. “Now, four stages of building later, they’re actually looking at developing on an adjacent site.” This progression illustrates the firm’s forward-thinking approach—planning for future expansion from the very start—and demonstrates the satisfaction that comes from witnessing a client’s growth over decades, evolving alongside its clients’ needs and the communities they serve.
