Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre, Tasmania, designed by Cumulus Studio exemplifies a building that successfully recedes in its natural environment, with COLORBOND® steel in the colour Basalt® being perfect for the spectacular site and setting the tone for its overall colour scheme.
The standing seam style Snaptray 45 profile by Structuur (previously named Kliptray 45) was selected for the roofing and features a flat pan that allows water and snow to shed easily.
COLORBOND® steel was also selected for its strength and durability to stand up to the harsh winter environment and provide low maintenance in a remote area.
