The Kingston Powerhouse, Canberra’s
oldest permanent building, occupies
a prominent position in the Kingsford
Foreshore redevelopment on the
southern edge of Lake Burley Griffin
and has been adaptively reused as an
access centre for glass artists.
The centre allows the public to interact
with the workings of the centre through
a raised mezzanine level and tiered
seating performance area, which
addresses viewing and OH&S issues.
Public facilities include a gallery space,
retail shop and cafe. An innovative
design solution has been developed
that meets the functional requirements
of a glass centre, within the constraints
of the existing structure and its
heritage limitations, and at the same
time employing sound sustainability
principles.
ESD principles include capturing the
waste heat from glass furnaces for
building services, passive heating and
cooling systems (including geothermal),
increased daylighting, and waste water
and storm water reuse.
