Intricate geometrical roofing made from COLORBOND® steel in the colour Basalt® crowns the nature-inspired Cumulus Studio designed Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre, winner of the 2021 Australian Institute of Architects COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture (Tasmanian Chapter).
Cumulus Studio said “The choice to use COLORBOND® steel was made early in the concept design stage as it provided us with the opportunity to create a distinctive roof form, inspired by the geology of Cradle Mountain, made from a robust roof cladding material that would withstand the site's harsh winter conditions. We chose the colour Basalt® for the visitor centre not only for the way it allows the large building to settle against its alpine backdrop but also because the colour alludes to the dolerite rock from which the mountain is formed.”
