Sydney Opera House Kit
Free AU Delivery on Orders Over $100
In 1956 the State of New South Wales ran an international competition for a National Opera House at Bennelong Point, Sydney. This attracted more than 220 entries from 32 countries. Jørn Utzon a young Danish architect won the competition and was hailed as opening a new chapter in contemporary architecture.
In 2007 the building was inscribed on the World Heritage List: “Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century. It represents multiple strands of creativity, both in architectural form and structural design, a great urban sculpture carefully set in a remarkable waterscape and a world famous iconic building.” UNESCO
THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE KIT is made with attention to detail that follows through all stages of manufacture. We source the best raw materials from sustainable sources where possible and inspect and check all components constantly during production.
