Len Lye Centre

The Len Lye Centre by Pattersons Architects is designed to fulfil multiple requirements. It needed to integrate with a proposed new art and cultural precinct which links through to the commercial heart of the city and it also needed to seamlessly merge with an existing Art Gallery facility. The finished building introduces new gallery spaces, education studios, a cinema, the Len Lye Archive and a dedicated motor room for his kinetic works. Pattersons’s selected Sonacoustic™ acoustic plaster treatment for the gallery interior ceilings to control the reverberation and follow the exciting curves of this building. Sonacoustic™ is a seamless plaster look acoustic finish for ceilings and high level walls. The Sonacoustic construction consists of a glass wool board underneath two layers of acoustic transparent plaster, towelled & sanded to a smooth finish.
