Architecture AND, in collaboration with landscape architects Environmental Partnership, have completed the Wombeyan Caves Tourism Project. The project comprised the revitalisation of the Wombeyan Caves visitor precinct, including the refurbishment of a series of buildings, construction of new buildings and the reconfiguration of key outdoor spaces; day visitor and overnight camping areas.
In addition to the main 'Kui Visitor Centre', the project contains significant adaptive re-use components, in particular the conversion of the Tanderra Lodge from group accommodation to separate accommodation suites, sensitive refurbishment of the distinctive ‘Barmah’ building and upgrades to the existing Powerhouse building to provide a flexible event space.
Architecture that's second to nature AND design thinking to make cities work. Working across a breadth of natural and urban settings, our projects are materially rich and geometrically precise, with a deep sense of care underpinning all that we do.
