Ashton Raggatt McDougal (ARM) have designed a dynamic and original 1000-seat performance space and 150-seat Salon.
ARM architects completed the design for the Melbourne Theatre Company helping to transform the formerly derelict Southbank area of the city to the dynamic district it has now become. 
The fusion of architectural and acoustic design throughout the development of Elisabeth Murdoch Hall produces a visually and aurally exciting hall.
There is a dramatic façade: 3D iridescent steel tubing folds and bends against black aluminium cladding – just as an actor brings performance to life against a dark backdrop. The most striking element inside the main theatre is the Word Wall – 70 quotes from different plays are illuminated when the stage is dark. The building also houses a full rehearsal hall that can be used as an event space or a smaller performance space, as well as a café and bar at the front of the house. - Andrew j Wiener
