The project focuses on the conservation and restoration of Perth Theatre’s historic category ‘B’ listed Edwardian auditorium. This work preserves the theatre’s heritage while enhancing its functionality for modern use. One of the standout features of the refurbishment is the use of backlit LINIT U-Profile Channel glazing, which creates a striking and customizable façade.

The glazed façade functions as a rain screen and is made of translucent, low-iron cast glass panels manufactured by Linit. These panels not only enhance the building’s aesthetic appeal but also serve a practical purpose. They are supported within a durable, powder-coated steel frame, ensuring strength and resilience. Additionally, the combination of glass and steel creates a sleek, modern appearance that complements the historic structure. Behind the glazing, continuous LED lighting elements are installed. These lights illuminate the building at night, creating a vibrant spectrum of colours.

Moreover, the use of Linit glazing provides a modern entrance to the theatre. The contemporary façade contrasts with the classic Edwardian design, blending the old and new. This combination creates a timeless yet modern look, helping the theatre stay relevant. The façade is also customizable, offering flexibility for future adaptations. This design approach respects the past while anticipating future needs.

Ultimately, the integration of modern technology and historic preservation ensures Perth Theatre will continue to attract audiences for many years to come. The project not only preserves the building’s rich history but also secures its future as a cultural landmark for the city.
