PROJECT NAME
Dawes Point Interpretive Installation
LOCATION
Dawes Point, Sydney, Australia
Interpretation design of the site which featured the colony’s first battery (military fort) and Sydney’s first observatory.
It took seven years and $2.8 million worth of archaeological investigation and interpretation to uncover and display the remnants of buildings which in different times were an observatory and a fort on one of Sydney’s oldest sites.
The interpretation displays tell the chronology of the site and various points of interest.
SHFA received the Lloyd Rees Award & the Conservation Architecture Award in 2002 from the AIA NSW chapter.
