Gugan Gulwan

Gugan Gulwan is all about community, culture, and connection. With its curved design and detailed finishes, it is built to be both beautiful and functional. Aiming for a 5-Star Green Star certification, it is thoughtfully built and features a commercial kitchen, music and recording studios, offices, meeting rooms and community spaces to hold courses and workshops. Indigenous artwork is woven throughout the building, co-designed with the Gugan Gulwan community. Judges noted that the use of materials throughout was ‘exceptional’ in the way they complemented each other and contributed to the overall design and aesthetic. This project represents deep community consultation and involvement, demonstrating the collaborative relationships between all parties to realise this special cultural space. Projex Building Group and CK Architecture have delivered more than just a building: it is a place of identity, safety and inclusion for First Nations Peoples.
