Sydney Theatre Company’s The Wharf banner

Over the past 30 years Sydney Theatre Company has established its reputation as one of the world’s foremost performing arts institutions, and in the process outgrown its existing facilities.

It was time to re-invent theatre spaces to provide a broader range of experiences for artists and audiences and open up The Wharf to the public in new ways, while staying true to the building’s 100-year-old heritage and much-loved character.

The company’s founding Artistic Director, Richard Wherrett’s vision was for the two theatre spaces at The Wharf to be fully flexible - equipped with the freedom of three adjustable seating configurations and the capacity to combine the two stages and open up creative possibilities.

About the
Professional

Our purpose is to design the world’s best places – places people love.

Globalisation, climate change, urbanisation, and digitisation present new opportunities and challenges for how we live.

In this fast-changing context, we bring together the best designers and thinkers in a unique collaborative process that results in both beautiful design and measurable value.

We work across architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and urban design - a rich multi-disciplinary mix of skills and perspectives that unlocks the economic, social and cultural value of projects.

We combine our creative design expertise with capabilities in strategy, research, technology and experience design, and we regularly collaborate with experts and partners from further afield.

Through our work, we’re trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities - and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.

Our clients look to us for more than our design skills. They want us to help them unlock value for their business and their end users – and find ways to better connect people.
