这是由M3 Architecture设计的全球酒店。该项目将一家标志性的昆士兰酒吧改造成文化和旅游中心的首期项目。该建筑包括一个信息中心、历史室、商业租赁区以及艺术画廊。原酒吧建于1910年，与许多年前关闭，随后在2011年被巴卡尔丁地区委员会购买。委员会的愿景是在主街一个重要路口位置创建独特的当代建筑。为此，建筑师需满足这个要求，同时与现状建筑相协调。设计关注一系列新的分层体验。该项目是一个尊重、当代风格的单一表皮建筑形式，允许这个城镇同时保留历史和在历史中建造。

From the architect. This project transforms an iconic outback Queensland pub into stage 1 of a cultural and tourism hub. The building contains an information centre, history room, a commercial tenancy, and sets out the shell for an art gallery.The pub, which was built in 1910, closed down a number of years ago and was purchased by the Barcaldine Regional Council in 2011. The Council’s vision was for a distinctive contemporary statement on a prominent corner in the main street. As Council’s architects, we proposed an outcome that would communicate this vision as well as celebrate the existing building.

Our design focuses on a series of new layered experiences. The project is a respectful, contemporary version of the single skin built form and allows the town to both retain, and build on, its history.The original perimeter verandah, more than 100 years old, was structurally unsafe and needed to be rebuilt. This gave us the opportunity to look at appropriate (contemporary) forms of protection and layering for the existing single skin walls.The nature of single-skinned construction allows us to see and understand the layers of a building – the load bearing structure, the bracing, the cladding and the ornament.

The building opens up to reveal the extent of layering at all scales; the street, the verandah, the wall and its frame, ornament and the interior room, the wrapping verandah and screens, and finally the landscape beyond. Balustrades are expressed cross braced timber frames, which mimic the structure and layering of the existing walls and reference the cross braced road train carriages that pass by. The verandah posts, balustrades, rain and shade screens, external ornament and stairs layer over each other to protect the single-skinned walls.Translucent twin-wall cladding, transparent polycarbonate linings, and powder coated SS screening all add new layers to the building. The result reframes the building in bold abstracted gables, and elongated verandah forms.

A new weathered western steel screen combines the pattern of the existing wall framing and bracing with the original verandah lattice screen and the ornament of the interior door lights. The screen, in the colour of the local soil, fluctuates between acting as a wall, a form of lattice and an experience of suspended landscape. Appropriate for a single-skinned building in a town known as an outback oasis.The project was designed in association with Brian Hooper Architect, and is 300m from the national award-winning Tree of Knowledge project (also designed by m3architecture in association with Brian Hooper Architect in 2009).
