Breathing life and light back into a historic Glenelg building.

With the relocation of the Glenelg Visitor Information Centre to the Old Glenelg Town Hall, came an opportunity to redesign a heritage space for modern use. The ornate detailing and the historic nature of this grand lobby space, along with the War Veterans Honour Roll have been paid due respect. All additions touch the space lightly using complementary materials and a colour palette handled in a modern way. Opening the underside of the staircase emphasises the volume and majestic nature of the space and floods the room with natural light.

In close proximity to the Glenelg Tram line, this heritage-listed building can now manage a steady flow of people with ease, as well as provide a charming workplace for employees and volunteers.

About the
Professional

My passion is to create a functional harmony that makes buildings and spaces a joy to inhabit. I have built an architectural practice in Adelaide focusing primarily on the needs of clients and how they relate to their buildings. I enjoy taking the time to understand my clients – what they need now and what they want in the future.

My experience as a sole practitioner, combined with time spent at some of Adelaide’s larger design firms, creates a depth of industry knowledge across all types of projects. My range of experience extends from residential renovation to large-scale public works. 

Through my practice, Peter Woolman Architect, I offer highly personalised, inspiring and practical architectural and design services for:

• Residential – new homes and renovation

• Heritage-listed buildings

• Commercial/industrial – small to medium size.

I create design solutions that work together with the surrounding environment. I create buildings that reduce energy costs by using natural energy efficiently. I deliver detailed design, leaving no room for confusion between the design and building phase.

Peter Woolman Architect is committed to creating the design solution that you need.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
