Description

Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) worked extensively with a design collaboration (led by Lyons) between First Nations architect Jefa Greenaway of Greenaway Architects, Lyons and Architecture Associates, to develop a considered and beautiful plan for the building interior design and fit-out reflecting Country and place that responds in a culturally sensitive way to both organisational and First Peoples community needs and values.  

The stand-alone First Peoples arts and cultural centre is a first of its kind in an Australian capital city. The whole building experience is reflective of First Peoples' connection to Country and culture.

What's On

Fiona Lew, Associate, Lyons will lead three free tours of the Birrarung Building and provide an insight into the design considerations of the newly expanded KHT.
