Australian Timber Design Awards

🎭 Sydney's Walsh Bay Arts Precinct: A Timber Masterpiece!

The Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "timber cathedrals," is breathtaking! 🌆

📌 Key Points:

1️⃣ Acclaimed Design: Conceived by the renowned architect Peter Tonkin of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, the precinct houses nine major arts companies, including the prestigious Australian Chamber Orchestra.
2️⃣ Awards & Recognition: The precinct bagged the 2022 WoodSolutions People's Choice Award and the Australian Timber Design Awards for Interior Commercial. 🏆
3️⃣ Historical Value: Once serving as a departure point for WWII soldiers and wool traders, the Walsh Bay wharves transformed, blending 100-year-old preserved timber with state-of-the-art theatre settings.
4️⃣ Innovation in Design: The design integrates 'boxes' within the existing structures, allowing individual acoustics management for each institution. With exterior mirrors, these boxes reflect bay light, creating a sense of invisibility.
5️⃣ Vote Reminder: The 2023 Australian Timber Design People's Choice Award voting is live. Cast your vote by Saturday, September 30, 2023!

✨ Expert Take: "The synergy of these companies working in this space is unparalleled. Walking around the water with top-notch performance companies is fabulous," remarks Peter Tonkin.

According to former NSW Minister for Infrastructure Rob Stokes, "Preserving its iconic heritage while offering state-of-the-art facilities right on Sydney's famous waterfront is an astounding accomplishment."
