Redesign of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music featuring Verbrugghen Hall, new surrounding buildings, and a three-storey foyer, enhancing acoustic performance while preserving the historical integrity of Francis Greenway's Stables.
Client: NSW Department of Education and Training
Awards:
- RAIA NSW, Architectural Award for Public Buildings
- UNESCO Award for conservation/adaptation
The redesign of the Sydney Conservatorium addressed three elements: Verbrugghen Hall in the courtyard of the refurbished Francis Greenway Stables; the new buildings surrounding the stables; and a dramatic three-storey foyer linking the buildings. TKD Architects worked with the project team developing strategies for the adaptation and refurbishment of the internal spaces and built the fabric of Francis Greenway’s Stables, revealing their original simplicity and clarity. This involved the removal of the extensive internal and external additions while rationalising the interior planning to address stringent demands of the acoustic brief. Work to this 540-seat hall required a very high level of acoustic performance.
