Perth New Performing Arts Centre

Sneak preview time again – this time an image sent to us by Kerry Hill Architects showing the first light-up of the glowing flytower at Perth New performing Arts Centre.  How to treat the flytower is always one of the most challenging aspects of designing a theatre.  Do you try to make it disappear by creating a screen in front (as masterfully realised by ARM on MTC Theatre) or do you make it stand out loud and proud?

It has been a privilege to be part of the design process for both projects and we are really excited to see Perth theatre coming to life.

Draw attention to the flytower?

Or make it disappear (with the help of effective lighting)?

    Looks amazing, thanks for posting the photo! We at Black Swan can’t wait to move into the new theatre (we’ll be the resident company in the building).

    cheers
