Haskell ArchitectsThe new Visitor Information and Community Centre at Lake Mountain was delivered in two stages, with a strong emphasis on environmentally sensitive design in response to its unique alpine bushland setting and important role as a community destination.
The centre provides a range of facilities, including public meeting rooms, kitchens, cafés, administration spaces, public shelters and amenities. Designed to maximise environmental performance, the building incorporates sustainable design initiatives such as heat recovery from generator exhaust streams for building heating, high thermal mass for improved thermal efficiency, and double-glazed windows to enhance insulation and energy efficiency.
