Building on its present reputation for public architecture, adaptive reuse and complex residential projects, TZG's newest commercial project is nearing completion. The three-story office building in Cope Street, Redfern, commonly known as the Black Theatre Site, will house offices for various Indigenous organisations and accommodate state-of-the-art broadcasting studios for Gadigal Information Services (Koori Radio).

The principal façade, three-storeys high and 16m wide, is clad in perforated louvre panels to provide an environmental sunscreen and a canvas to showcase a significant indigenous artwork by Adam Hill. For more information on the Black Theatre Site see www.tzg.com.au

The four-stage conservation of the Separate Prison on the World-Heritage nominated Port Arthur site. Constructed in stages from 1849, the Separate Prison is significant as chilling evidence of the 19th century's moral phobias and experimental initiatives. Based on Quaker principles of penitence brought about by silence and control, the Prison was a strict machine to subdue unruly convicts.

The completed Stage 1, involving the major reconstruction of missing parts of the original building, will be opened by Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, and the Premier of Tasmania, David Bartlett, on the 13th of August, 2008.
