The Great Cobar Museum

Set in the former administration building of the Great Cobar Copper Mine, the Great Cobar Museum was reborn. The design treats the building itself as an exhibit: a new accessible ramp leads into nine ground-floor rooms where lightweight red-steel display frames sit back from the restored fabric, with the exhibition journey spilling out onto reinstated verandas and into a landscape of large mining objects.

The result turns a much-loved but decaying landmark into a flexible, energy-conscious regional museum and visitor hub.

ARC is built into the natural slope of the site and features a cascading three‑storey design, green‑wall landscaping, humidity and temperature controlled climate zones, and immersive habitat-themed exhibits, making it a standout example of conservation‑led architecture that blends seamlessly into its harbour‑side setting while offering a visceral, educational experience of biodiversity and ecological storytelling.

The centre rewrites what a zoo exhibit can be, a sculpted, multi‑level rainforest‑meets-desert tropical habitat gallery that immerses visitors in the world of reptiles and amphibians, from venomous taipans to rare Corroboree frogs, all housed in museum‑grade enclosures that prioritise animal welfare, education and conservation.

Australian National Maritime Museum

Designed as a “floating gallery,” the pavilion fuses exhibition, architecture and maritime history, marrying natural ventilation, rugged marine‑rated materials and immersive interpretive spaces to deliver a visceral, atmospheric entry to Australia’s naval past.

The structure defines what a museum pavilion can be: a lightweight, steel‑framed volume built on a pre‑existing wharf, engineered to accommodate shifting tidal loads, wind and the live weight of moored ships, all while maintaining elegance and environmental resilience.
