Architecture AND have collaborated with Environmental Partnership on an upgrade to Yiraaldiya National Park. The project reimagines an existing brick and steel parking structure to become an interpretation centre to support the rewilding activities of this newly gazetted national park.
Through selective interventions into the existing building, a new pavilion has been revealed. The rear wall will be removed, creating a transparent pavilion that connects through to the surrounding bushland.
A series of rounded volumes are placed under the pavilion roof, comprising interpretation displays and a central amphitheatre.
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.
