ARM Architecture Wins Gold Coast Cultural Precinct Design Competition

News – Nov 2013

An eight-member independent jury has selected Melbourne’s ARM Architecture as the winner of the Gold Coast Cultural Precinct design competition. Schuler Shook is extremely pleased to be part of the winning team.

ARM’s multidisciplinary approach resulted in a precinct design that was described by jurors as a bold and inclusive reimagining of what a cultural precinct might be, seeking to engage the widest possible demographic”. The winning design in this international competition was selected from 75 Stage One entries and three shortlisted Stage Two submissions.

The new cultural precinct will be sited on 11 hectares at Evandale, the location of the current Arts Centre Gold Coast, which will be revitalised as part of the precinct-wide project. ARM’s team will be designing indoor and outdoor spaces to support artistic programming and active participation from both residents and visitors to the area.

The shortlisted submissions and the winning design are also open to the public for viewing at The Reveal exhibition at Gallery 2 of The Arts Centre Gold Coast from 22 November 2013 to 15 December 2013.

Schuler Shook is extremely pleased to be a part of ARM’s extraordinary design team for this significant arts project in Queensland. We are looking forward to collaborating once again with ARM, with whom we completed the very successful renovation of Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne.”
