WA Museum Boola Bardip

The Heart of Perth’s Cultural Centre

WA Museum Boola Bardip is a statement in architectural excellence and innovation, using Kingspan Hook-On Cassette.

Located in the heart of Perth’s cultural centre, the WA Museum Boola Bardip is a statement in architectural excellence and innovation. It is contemporary addition to the existing heritage listed building, creating a grand entrance to the civic space that integrates classic and modern architecture.

The project required a lightweight building envelope that could be installed quickly but would also be aesthetically appealing and integrate well with the existing heritage structures. Kingspan provided a complete building envelope solution, increasing the speed of build compared to traditional built-up systems.

Given the significant cantilever over the existing heritage building, lightweight construction was of significant importance, as well as air tightness and thermal efficiency. A combination of Kingspan Karrier Panel system with Hook-On Cassettes were used to create a bespoke and engineered architectural façade solution.
