2025 Southern Architecture Awards Winner

The Lakes District Museum

The Lakes District Museum exemplifies sound conservation methodologies and demonstrates the collaborative efforts of the client, architect, engineer, and tradespeople. An innovative approach to seismic strengthening, the catalyst for initiating the project, ensured that the necessary structural interventions are discreet. The reinstated parapet revives the original design intent of R.A. Lawson and significantly enhances the external appearance of the building. A reconfigured display space smartly incorporates a new lift that improves accessibility for the overall museum facility. Restoration of the Lakes District Museum is a testament to the expertise and dedication of all involved and has enhanced Arrowtown’s historic streetscape.
