129 - 131 Henry Street Penrith
Location
Penrith, Mulgoa / Dharug / Gundungurra Country
Client
Penrith City Council
In Collaboration With:
Clarence Slockee (Jiwah),
Julien Roy (Landforms.)
Architect: Woods Bagot
Project Description
Formerly the Penrith City Council Chambers building, 131 Henry Street is a commercial transformation of an important city asset. Catalysing the revitalisation of the Penrith CBD, the design of this building and landscape is setting a benchmark for future city developments.
Developed in partnership with Registered Aboriginal Parties via a co-design process, the design works to centre Country through a curated layering of storytelling, imbued with the aspirations of community for supporting continued cultural practice and strengthening urban ecologies.
Through a careful crafting of spatial arrangement, materiality, art and interpretation pieces, 131 Henry street takes the user on a visceral journey through time and place, with an emphasis on culture, connectivity and identity. The translation of themes of water, creation, community and connection weave together Indigenous voices and aspirations, culminating in a story piece that the whole community can celebrate.
