carousel pavilion
waterfront geelong
The Carousel Pavilion securely showcases a restored 36-horse carousel, the steam engine that drives it and a period band organ and ticket box. The lean project budget demanded a disciplined response, and the building is evidence that a project founded on economy of material can produce spectacular results. The timeless design combines a transparent, permeable glass box with six steel trunks, branching to support a roof of intersecting vaults.
