Concept and Features:
Located next to the Bundanoon Trust, designed by architects Glenn Murcutt, Wendy Lewin, and Reg Lark also known as the Boyd Education Center. The hospitality venue sits correctly on the hill of the location with structural beams and support frames. The Wombats Café reflected natural materials such as timber flooring and focused on complimenting the surroundings instead of taking away from the beautiful views. The Arthur Boyd Artworks were presented as the main use of colour within the café. Elements such as glass panels and timber screens have been placed to support the wind and sunlight elements.
