Transforming Architectural Designs with ARAMAX® Structural Roofing Solutions
When it comes to pushing the boundaries of architectural roofing, few profiles compare to the innovation and impact of Fielders’ ARAMAX®. This large-span roofing solution is engineered to not only perform structurally but also to stand as a visual statement in both commercial roofing and complex architectural designs.
From high-end cultural institutions to remote community centres, ARAMAX® proves time and again that design and function can co-exist seamlessly.
Iconic Projects Showcasing ARAMAX®
1. Bundanon Art Museum – A Masterpiece of Form and Function
Nestled into the landscape of the Shoalhaven region, the Bundanon Art Museum showcases ARAMAX® at its best. Designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects, the long-spanning ARAMAX® profile follows the terrain, creating a bold yet respectful architectural feature. The use of COLORBOND® steel elevates the material performance, while the COLORBOND® steel roofing profile maintains harmony with the natural setting.
2. St Bede’s Catholic College – Versatility in Action
This learning environment called for multiple design solutions. ARAMAX® not only delivered expansive coverage without additional structural support, but also allowed for aesthetic continuity across large roof planes. It’s a prime example of how structural roofing can meet educational facility needs for durability and dynamic design.
3. Port Melbourne Development – Industrial Edge with Architectural Finesse
ARAMAX® adds a bold, industrial appeal to this mixed-use development while still offering excellent rainwater performance and thermal efficiency. Its architectural roofing capabilities were key in meeting the developer’s brief for a contemporary urban aesthetic that also addressed sustainability and longevity.
4. Groote Eylandt Sports Hub – Designed for Resilience
In one of Australia’s most remote and cyclonic regions, the ARAMAX® profile delivered a commercial roofing solution that was strong, functional, and efficient. Its ability to span longer distances with fewer supports meant faster installation and lower structural costs—an essential benefit for isolated communities.
5. Seven Emus Station – Sustainability Through Simplicity
This award-winning build for the Garawa people integrated ARAMAX® into a design that prioritised minimal environmental impact and maximum resilience. The wide-span profile required less structural steel and enabled rapid installation, making it a standout solution for sustainability-focused projects.
Why ARAMAX® Is the Smart Choice for Designers
- Large Span Efficiency: With spans up to 20 metres, ARAMAX® minimises the need for intermediate supports, opening up design possibilities.
- Structural Performance: Its deep trapezoidal shape provides strength and stiffness, ideal for exposed applications.
- Visual Impact: The bold profile enhances both form and function in modern architectural concepts.
- Material Flexibility: Compatible with COLORBOND® steel, ARAMAX® delivers colour choice, corrosion resistance, and thermal efficiency.
Built for Australia’s Most Demanding Projects
ARAMAX® is engineered to meet the needs of commercial, civic, and remote infrastructure projects. It supports heritage-inspired builds, modern extensions, and cutting-edge architecture with ease—proving itself as a go-to solution for architects, engineers, and developers seeking structural and visual excellence.
Conclusion
Fielders ARAMAX® is more than just a COLORBOND® steel roofing profile—it’s an architectural tool that empowers bold ideas and simplifies structural demands.
