Parramatta Centenary Square

Location: Centenary Square, Parramatta
Building Type: Public

Parramatta Council’s brief was to replace unsatisfactory umbrellas with a permanent shade structure over the outdoor performance space in Centenary Place. This is an important historic place in Australian history and the structure is deliberately designed to harmonise with the older buildings whilst being clearly of its time. It is steel framed with grid-mesh giving an 80% shade factor over seating and performance areas.
