Revitalizing the historic Old Glenelg Town Hall into a modern Visitor Information Centre while preserving its ornate detailing and enhancing natural light for a welcoming atmosphere.
Breathing life and light back into a historic Glenelg building.
With the relocation of the Glenelg Visitor Information Centre to the Old Glenelg Town Hall, came an opportunity to redesign a heritage space for modern use. The ornate detailing and the historic nature of this grand lobby space, along with the War Veterans Honour Roll have been paid due respect. All additions touch the space lightly using complementary materials and a colour palette handled in a modern way. Opening the underside of the staircase emphasises the volume and majestic nature of the space and floods the room with natural light.
In close proximity to the Glenelg Tram line, this heritage-listed building can now manage a steady flow of people with ease, as well as provide a charming workplace for employees and volunteers.
