Project Description H2o were commissioned to design the refurbishment of the Architecture, Industrial & Interior Design faculty’s workshop at Swinburne University of Technology. The project adopts addition and subtraction to its existing masonry envelope with the introduction of a new expansive glass facade to create a light and open learning space for students and teachers alike.
