The Rockhampton Museum of Art combines a welcoming space for art lovers with a building that will protect the city’s precious collection from heat and humidity.The building was not only designed to be welcoming, it also had to link the city to the river, host local shows and international exhibitions, and keep the city’s art collection safe from heat and humidity.
It was designed so that all elements of the home – entry, workspace, kitchen, living area, bedroom and rooftop garden – open off the central stairwell, allowing each space to be filled with natural light while expressing “character and charm”. “The combination of painstakingly re-crafted timbers and new fuchsia colouring, which nod to the original interiors designed by Peter Hall, is nothing short of awe-inspiring,” the judges said. “‘The House feels ready for its next 50 years.”Each week our editors select five of the most interesting, entertaining and thoughtful reads published by Guardian Australia and our international colleagues.
Nightingale units are built with essential spaces and then residents share communal spaces such as rooftop gardens, with others living in the complex. The development, next to a train station on Brunswick’s bustling Sydney Road, has parking for bikes and shared cars only.
