SHOEBOX - A SPACIAL FACT TRANSFORMS INTO RADICAL AESTHETIC LANGUAGE
The obvious is not always accepted as the basis for a design brief. One may consider that the premise of a room looking like 'a kind of shoe box' is an appropriate axis to devise an audible masterpiece. Ashton Raggatt McDougall’s (ARM) architecture has taken an acoustic engineering shoe box and transformed it into a radical aesthetic space.
"The design details in this building are consistent all the way through the space. The compliance requirements of the BCA and DDA are seamlessly integrated with the interior, benefiting the public that will use this building for many years to come,” says Chris Bertacco, TGSI consultant at DTAC. "We really valued ARM's attention to the placement and use of tactile indicators in this work. It's only in projects such as this that the message of tactile indicators achieves the full effect; just the like the interior of the Melbourne Recital Hall.”
The DTAC product used on this project was DTAC’s stainless steel ribbed warning tactile.
