Client: Arts Queensland / Queensland Government
Location: 420 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley
Project type: Public / Institutional
Completed: 2020

The refurbishment to the Judith Wright Centre includes a new cafe / bar, three new street-front offices / commercial tenancies, box-office and public foyer. Working within the heritage fabric of the former Empire Office Furniture building the design incorporates pared-back materials to celebrate the existing qualities of the former light-industry building while providing a provocative backdrop for the activities of contemporary art exhibitions, performances, and celebrations.
