Ashton Raggatt McDougal (ARM) architects completed the design of the Melbourne Recital Center. Rock!
The new home for the MTC is a 500 seat drama theatre, equipped with the latest theatre technology and full back stage facilities. The Sumner Theatre is a single rake house without balcony, providing the very best sight lines to the stage.
The stage, fly and wing configuration will make this one of the best drama facilities in the world. The Lawler Studio is a full rehearsal hall, capable of being used for functions or small performances seating up to 150 patrons. At front of house, there are café, patron lounges and bars.
Viewed at night the exterior of the building is a mesmerizing matrix of glowing tubes, hovering around the black box of the building, reminiscent of the tubing on the Arts Centre spire, but more graphic. More like an illusionistic painting, blurring two dimensional and three dimensional perception. Our design direction has been to draw on the shared traditions of spatial ambiguity that are imbedded in the histories of both architecture and the theatre.
Thanks in advance. Alvin.
