Curved Inspiration
The Grand Hall sets the tone with a striking interior defined by Spotted Gum timber battens. Finished with clear oil to accentuate the natural grain, the battens evoke the curves of Centre Court’s balustrades, while their terracotta-inspired tones reflect Australia’s unique environment. This 2,000sqm space, with soaring 8.5m ceilings, is not only a visual masterpiece but also acoustically optimised for any event, from grand celebrations to corporate gatherings.
