Mckern Architecture

these curved panels in the glasshouse theatre.. 👏🏾 this is Brisbane’s newest addition to QPAC New Performing Arts Venue (Glasshouse Theatre), and it only just opened in March 2026!! designed by Snøhetta and Blight Rayner, the façade is made from massive, custom-fabricated curved panels and each one is unique, stacked in two tiers reaching over 14 metres high even more impressive it’s suspended with minimal structure, the glass appears to float off the ground, amplified by a cantilever that extends along the street line each panel is a complex, multi-layered system that shifts between reflection and transparency, and gives the building a soft glowing lantern effect at night. with panels of this scale and precision… the costs are unimaginable, but worth every cent🤌🏽 #architect #architecturestudent #architecture #archdesign #architok
