Featured project
The former convent — with its small, dark rooms — is now an airy, light-filled community hub for art and culture.
Located in downtown Sydney, The Convent brings people together in an inclusive, contemporary space. DORA’s skilled craftspeople worked collaboratively with the team at New Dawn Enterprises to bring their vision for The Convent to life.
The Convent is now a cultural crown jewel for the city.
