Durbach Block Jaggers and John Wardle Architects Create Brick-clad Cultural Centre in Sydney

Phoenix Central Park is a gallery and a performance space in Sydney designed by Durbach Block Jaggers and John Wardle Architects.

The performance space, which was designed by architecture studio Durbach Block Jaggers, is shaped like a bell with stepped walls formed by curving horizontal timber louvres.Connected to the auditirium is a gallery space designed by John Wardle Architects as a stack of irregular boxes formed from concrete that has been left bare as a backdrop for the artworks.

Both studios collaborated to create the alternately jagged and undulating facade of long pale-brick facades that enclose the building.
