Commendation
Project Title: Darebin Arts Centre
Company Name: Sibling Architecture
Twenty-five years after the Darebin Arts and Entertainment Centre (DAEC) was completed by Harmer Architecture in 1996, it was time for a front of house refresh.
The strong use of the colour navy nods to the Truscott interiors of the Melbourne Arts Centre – which uses a lush palette of gold and crimson reds. To contrast the interior, they used a distinct but rich colour that complements the gold tones used throughout.
