Dinesen Oak Classic floorboards create a warm and calm surface for the gallery’s visitors when they go explore this extraordinary space.
The idea behind Phoenix Central Park was conceived by arts philanthropist Judith Neilson as a gesamtkunstwerk, or ‘total work of art’, encapsulated in the motto ‘art has moved off the wall’. Channeling this idea, John Wardle Architects and Durbach Block Jaggers teamed up to create a building that is not merely a receptacle of art and performance but an active participant in both.
Galleries and performance spaces demand a certain interiority, closed off from the world at large to maintain a controlled environment. The continuous, mostly impermeable brick skin of the façade addressing the narrow street in Sydney acknowledges this.
Dinesen is proud to be a part of this unique space that truly allows people to immerse themself in art and music.
