CSIRO Parkes Observatory

The CSIRO Parkes Telescope Upgrade project stands as a testament to our commitment to enhancing iconic structures and spaces. This multifaceted initiative encompassed the revitalization of the public amenities block with a whimsical 'Starry Night' theme, as well as the meticulous restoration of over 400 square meters of concrete paths surrounding significant memorials and statues. Situated at the world-renowned Parkes Observatory, this endeavor fused innovative design with historical preservation to create a harmonious and functional space for both astronomy enthusiasts and the broader community.
