An uncompromising level of quality design for the final stage of the Australian War Memorial, ACT

    The Eastern Precinct represented the express wishes of the veterans themselves and was the final phase of the overall site plan of the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. The precinct consists of underground parking, a café, and a public courtyard. The formal geometry remains consistent with the surroundings, linking the old and the new.
