Architectus worked with Concept Architect SANAA as Executive Architect, the SMP will be completed in late 2022.  The Project will double the extent of exhibition space of the AGNSW, providing a new Indigenous gallery, 35m clear-span gallery, dedicated "Blockbuster" gallery, and adaptive re-use of the 2100sqm heritage "Fuel Bunker," a remarkable 8m high space with mosque-like columns at 4m spacings. A glazed atrium links the enclosed gallery boxes, with internal terraces formed by sweeping rammed earth walls..

My role as Architectus Project Leader began soon after the competition and worked through design development to construction tender, with particular focus to develop the Functional and Technical Design Brief and to work with SANAA and the consultant team to ensure the design met the cost and operational requirements of the Gallery.
