Construction soon underway on the Cutaway at Barangaroo

 

The project, will create a new cultural facility over three levels and a new facade adjacent to Nawi Cove.

Our concept developed through a deep and authentic design collaboration with First Nations Knowledge Keepers and Creatives, led by Bangawarra and Jake Nash. This partnership began at the very inception of the design, to envisage natural forms which soften the cut’s straight edges.

The result embodies references to Salt Water Country – to the shelter of Sandstone Caves (Gibbagunya) and to knowledge trees, the Port Jackson Fig (Damun) with protective tree branch canopies (Gunya). We aspire for this project to be a welcoming and safe gathering space for all people.
