History woven through design.
The design of this new multipurpose stadium in Hobart brought with it a mandate to respect and celebrate the site’s rich First Nations, maritime and maritime heritage. Along with lead architects COX, the project considers the location’s history, surrounding spaces and user needs, alongside the desire to create a truly immersive fan experience.
A low-profile built-form and woven-style facade is culturally informed under the guidance of the local First Nations community, and reflects the ongoing practice of weaving, as well as the opportunity now to weave together cultures and stories.

AWARDS
As a Tasmanian-owned studio, we were pleased to collaborate with lead studio COX Architecture on the design of Tasmania’s new multipurpose stadium. The collaboration supports a design outcome that is more than a stadium, but also brings together communities, celebrates sports and culture, and is unmistakably Tasmanian.
Uniquely Tasmanian.
In addition to hosting world-class sporting events, the multipurpose stadium is designed to support a range of cultural and community events, as well as year-round hospitality and entertainment. A 1,500-person capacity function room boasts remarkable views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, and the stadium itself features a seating bowl design that promises to bring local crowds closer to the action than ever before.
More than just sports.
