sydney masonic centre
The Sydney Masonic Centre; one of Australia’s great Brutalist masterpieces.
Designed by Joseland Gilling and constructed between 1975-9 (with a tower completed in 2004), the SMC stands audaciously on the corner of Sydney’s Castlereagh and Goulburn Streets with not a care in the world. For many years, the SMC fronted the public with a barren concrete façade, but a glazed-in cafeteria was added later to soften the building at street level.
