Storey Hall, RMIT Melbourne Australia


Tappin, Gilbert and Dennehy designed Storey Hall in 1887. This refurbishment was designed by Ashton Raggatt McDougall for the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University and completed in 1995.

The $13.9 million project transformed the space into a vibrant art gallery with exterior Penrose tiles that represent building's use as a meeting hall for Suffragettes. The design builds on the Classicist original with a Annexe building entrance through a grotto, and bright shades of green that suggest the Irish roots and environmentally sustainable future. The rigid angles in the architecture's "drapery" suggest a "new geometry of chaos theories."
