AWARDS WON AS PRINCIPAL CONSULTANTS
TOCAL HOMESTEAD, NSW
Our work on this project was to convert an old hay shed into a first class venue for a variety of uses, particularly an interpretation and visitors centre and also a function centre. We utilised our extensive experience in conservation and adaptive re-use to ensure the heritage values of the building were maintained while transforming the structure into something more practical and comfortable for modern usage. This project also utilised energy efficiency principles in the design. The Visitors Centre has won numerous awards including: 2010 The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism 2009 The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism 2008 The Hunter Central Coast award for excellence in tourism 2007 Ten Carat Awards Best Wedding Reception Venue - Hunter Valley The project is referenced in the NSW Heritage Council and the Institute of Architects' New Uses for Heritage Places. The success of the venue has led to the conversion of the nearby Old Dairy into a Visitors Centre to extend the capacity of Tocal to hold functions for the community. |
