Work Begins on Heysen Gallery: A New Chapter for Art
Siteworks have begun at The Cedars, Hahndorf, as building of the much-anticipated Heysen Gallery project gets underway.
South Australian builder Marshall & Brougham have been engaged to construct this dynamic multipurpose art gallery, which will house and protect the artistic works of both Hans and Nora Heysen.
Fore Design (formerly Beyond Ink) have provided the final designs for the $9m project, and will fulfill the role of contract administrator throughout the gallery’s construction.
Fore Design Director Scott Robinson said:
“The gallery will foster an immersive exploration of both the artistic oeuvre of Hans and Nora Heysen, and the unique scenic beauty of The Cedars. Derived from the natural environment, the earthy tones and rich timber elements of the design mirror the majestic gum trees that served as a prominent feature in Hans Heysen’s work. The design is bold, yet firmly ingrained in the essence of the Adelaide Hills and the values of the Heysen family”.
The Gallery is funded with a federal grant under the Adelaide City Deal, and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2025.
We look forward to keeping you updated as the build progresses.
