After a devastating fire in 2014, DSGNK was involved in the redevelopment proposal in form of an EOI for the iconic ‘Waltzing Matilda Centre’ museum in Winton.
Together with Thomson Adsett and nZD we developed an architectural concept with strong focus on community and sustainability. The design idea centers a billabong in a sunken courtyard as a symbol for the birth of life. It proposes the use of thermal mass to provide natural cooling given the extreme weather conditions in this remote outback town. Furthermore the new centre in designed to tie in with the new energy strategy for Winton to run on 100% renewables.
