UNSW Roundhouse
UNSW ROUNDHOUSE
Redevelopment of the University’s iconic Roundhouse building. Teamed with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, JHA’s project team was tasked with modernising the building, creating a more flexible and energy-efficient venue, while also upgrading its acoustic properties.
The newly refurbished Roundhouse will continue to serve as a venue of choice for concerts, music gigs, conferences, events, seminars and box office events. The building also provides a merchandise and food area, permanent bar and beer garden with a secondary private bar area.
JHA’s specialist lighting team worked closely with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects to conceal lighting fixtures wherever possible, allowing the eye to wander over radial geometry with as few interruptions as possible. Careful design of the house lighting on the mezzanine level was critical, as nothing was allowed to distract from the world-class audio visual system in the performance space below.
