This Girl Guide Hall project was a collaboration with Plummer + Smith (Landscape and Public Architecture) and was shortlisted in a competition by Marrickville Council, Sydney.

The competition called for a new treatment of the existing Girl Guide's Hall in McNeilly Park that would improve the building's presence in the park and local landscape and help reduce the incidence of graffiti.

Collaborating with Plummer + Smith we proposed a bright steel shroud that would provide the tired community building with a new protective skin and a renewed presence in its park setting.

The perforated steel skin masks the old building, frames the main entry door and covers all windows acting as a security screen (without limiting daylight). By wrapping the existing building, this proposal enhances the hall's presence within, and relationship to, both park and street.
