The development is a node in the emerging Tasmanian adventure tourism market, offering a guided mountain bike experience and completely off-grid boutique accommodation. The BDPR is tapping into the mountain biking movement, which has swept across Australia. World-class mountain bike trails have been constructed in Derby and, through an explosive spike in visitor numbers, this has contributed to a process of renewal for the local community\u2019s economy and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The BDPR hub building provides adventurers with a space to relax and rejuvenate, incorporating communal amenities for dining, staff accommodation and bike storage. The pods offer a sleeping space, wrapping the user in a protective shell for an immersive wilderness experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Architects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/philplighton.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philp Lighton Architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Project architect &#8211; Thomas Floyd<\/p>\n<p>Design architect &#8211; Anthony Dalgleish<\/p>\n<p>Design architect &#8211; Andrew Floyd<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consultants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Principal builder &#8211; Adam Anstie&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Builder &#8211; Anstie Construction&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Joinery \u2013 A2 Kitchens &amp; Joinery<\/p>\n<p>Engineer &#8211; RARE Innovations<\/p>\n<p>Services consultant &#8211; Engineering Solutions Tasmania<\/p>\n<p>Hydraulic consultant &#8211; Prime Plumbing &amp; Gas<\/p>\n<p>Bushfire practitioner &#8211; Ross Murphy<\/p>\n<p>Electrical consultant &#8211; Mo Electrical<\/p>\n<p>Hydronic heating practice team &#8211; Prime Plumbing &amp; Gas<\/p>\n<p>Photographer \u2013 Simon Bischoff, Natalie Mendham &amp; Adam Gibson<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a class=\"button 2018-vote-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aiaforms.wufoo.eu\/forms\/2018-tasmanian-peoples-choice-prize\/def\/field36=The Blue Derby Pods - Philp Lighton Architects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vote Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Categories<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/\">All<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-commercial-architecture\/\">Commercial Architecture<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-small-project-architecture\/\">Small Project Architecture<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-public-architecture\/\">Public Architecture<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-urban-design\/\">Urban Design<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-education\/\">Education<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-heritage\/\">Heritage<\/a> |<a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-interior-architecture\/\">Interior Architecture<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-residential-architecture-multiple-housing\/\">Residential Architecture \u2013 Multiple Housing<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-residential-architecture-houses-new\/\">Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New)<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/tasawards\/2018-awards\/2018-residential-architecture-houses-alts\/\">Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (Alterations &amp; Additions)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The Blue Derby Pods &nbsp; Within a temperate Tasmanian blackwood forest, alongside relics of a bygone mining industry, sits the Blue Derby Pods Ride (BDPR).
