Crone

The museum aims to respectfully integrate a new building into the existing cultural precinct and to create a new identity while strengthening current civic conditions within the site. The building envelope is shaped to keep line-of-sight to the gallery and create a new civic square & protect it from winter southerlies. Stairs create a public amphitheatre and allow access to the rooftop landscaping. A sloping landscaped roof creates a public hill. With this innovative approach to the brief and site, Crone were commissioned to carry out the full design & documentation highly supported by the local User Groups and Council.
