PROJECTS

On a site east of Canberra and adjacent to wetlands, a collaborative team whose process inverts the “master” plan paradigm is gradually designing a diverse neighbourhood in a restored landscape.

With its alterations and additions to an inner-suburban Brisbane Queenslander, a local design team created spaces that work together like an ensemble cast to encourage human habitation and celebrate the community’s daily routines.

In repurposing the derelict site of an inner-Melbourne technical college, this project seeks to embed arts in the community, provide affordable studio space in an otherwise unaffordable area and create public amenity that is welcoming to all.

A dexterous amalgam of architectural interventions turned a 100-year-old pier on Sydney Harbour into a permanent home for some of Australia’s leading performing arts companies.

An old woodchip mill on Tasmania’s east coast, once an integral part of the state’s controversial logging industry, is now a post-industrial events and performance venue and the site of ongoing environmental regeneration.

After a major 1960s downscaling and a series of ad hoc renovations, Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin’s Capitol Theatre has been re-engineered to beguile audiences for another hundred years.

In the regional city of Lismore, Dominic Finlay Jones Architects in association with Phil Ward has paired a modest, thoughtful intervention with community-minded thinking to design a thoroughly successful civic space.

In this robust work of adaptive re-use, Peter Stutchbury Architecture has reached back into history to transform an ensemble of former hospital buildings in Sydney’s Green Square Town Centre into a dynamic public arts precinct.

Kerry Hill Architects has led a collaborative redevelopment of the historic heart of Perth since 2009, complementing the existing heritage fabric with architectural insertions at an urban scale.

A former car assembly building redeveloped by Tridente Architects and Woods Bagot plays a central role in the ongoing development of the sixty-one-hectare precinct of Tonsley.

PHAB Architects has revived a former condensed milk factory in Toogoolawah, Queensland through considered restoration and contemporary gestures.

Tzannes Associates’ adaptive re-use of the former Kent Brewery in the heart of Sydney’s Central Park retains the brick facade and inserts part of a trigeneration plant that powers the neighbourhood.

After an extensive conservation program, the 130-year-old building reopened in March 2013.

The Willoughby Incinerator by Walter Burley Griffin and Eric Nicholls is adapated as an artist’s studio, gallery and café.
