The Opening of Boola Bardip

We were delighted to attend last night’s official opening of Boola Bardip , Western Australia’s New Museum.

For six years, we have held the role of State Adviser: Architecture on this project and have been involved in everything from the writing of the design brief through to its development on site. We’ve loved this role and the opportunity it has brought to work with a diverse team of collaborators – from the State Government, museum staff, the design architects, OMA and Hassell and a broad section of the West Australian community.

A very special mention must go to our own Sarah Besly, who for many years has been based at a site office in the city and has worked tirelessly as Project Lead. As many of you reading  will relate, it’s an awesome feeling to see a structure and space that you know so well be finished and full of life.

We also congratulate the curators for creating a balanced view of our history through the program of exhibitions. We look forward to watching Boola Bardip fill an important place in the lives of West Australians for many decades to come.
