Regional Commendation for The Condensery: Somerset Regional Art Gallery

The Condensery: Somerset Regional Art Gallery has been awarded a Commendation at the 2016 AIA Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards. The project will now proceed to the Queensland Architecture Awards, to be held in Brisbane on 24 June.

Jury citation:
Although this 1920s remnant shed of the former condensed milk factory in Toogoolawah had no legislative heritage protection, its adaptive reuse has been sensitively handled, using established conservation principles. The project’s careful consideration of light and amenity concealed within the outline of the original structure is a triumph.
