ABOUT THE WORK:

Sculptor Judith Forrest was commissioned to fabricate two bronze figures “Urban Classics’ that relate to the Italian connection for Subiaco. The work will be unveiled in December 2009. Eveline Kotai - an exceptional painter, was engaged directly to create a large scale colour building wrap and have an input on building aesthetics. Eveline designed the colour work for the panel cladding on the building’s north facing wall. She worked to ensure the direct colour matching of the Alpolic Aluminium Composite Material panels. Eveline also influenced the colour windows on the south side and colour symmetry of the building.
