The Bundanon Art Museum and Bridge is a significant site redevelopment on the estate of one of Australia’s most celebrated artists, Arthur Boyd. Located on a stunning site on the Shoalhaven River near Nowra.
ADCO Constructions have constructed a state of the art, subterranean art gallery space (1500m2 ) for the clients multimillion dollar art collection and an elegant linear accommodation bridge (160 metres long) floating across a gully.
The new art gallery includes museum, exhibition spaces and galleries, and secure temperature control and humidity controlled storage. The bridge provides unique luxury accommodation and incorporates kitchen and dining facilities.
Site upgrades included a jetty on the Shoalhaven River, access roads, carparks, foot bridges, water treatment and sewerage plant. Also delivered were renovations to existing heritage buildings.
A high level of collaboration was required with client and architect to address the unique design requirements and site difficulties, whilst also achieving budget and managing weather and COVID restrictions.
The judges were impressed with the team's ability to manage the difficult site constraints and location, modify the design to suit the site restrictions and still deliver an exceptional product
