PROJECT DETAILS
Cairns Regional Gallery was inspired over twenty years ago when the Public curators’ building, built in 1936, became available to the Cairns City Council for conversion. At that stage the site on which the building is located was heritage-listed, being adjacent to the first Cairns Courthouse. Known as the Public Curators building it housed numerous government departments including the State Government Insurance commission, Tourist Bureau, Land Commission and Agricultural Bank, Forestry Offices, District Supervisor of Works and visiting Tax Inspectors. In recent history the building had served as the Cairns Magistrates Court. A total of five major gallery spaces have been incorporated, with major physical changes to the structure taking place on the existing first floor and within the roof space. This now houses the administration, ‘back of house’ facilities along with the Loft Gallery and services plant. Major considerations in the design were to accommodate a contemporary gallery, with its very specific c lighting, climate control and public access requirements along with a variety of versatile exhibition spaces maintaining the Heritage Registered structures design integrity as a tropical ‘Government’ building.

PROJECT DETAILS
The Gilbert Residence, designed by Roger Mainwood, is a stunning example of contemporary Tropical Architecture. Consisting of two pavilions, united by a common
colonnade, the house connects itself seamlessly to the outdoors. Borrowing from the ‘Queenslander’ vernacular, the use of large eaves and a high pitched roof, in addition to the open plan interior allows for cross ventilation and cooler temperatures. The day lounge morphs with the pool through a series of terraces making the pool an extension of the house itself.
