A Building, a Voice, an Audience of One
Step inside the newly reimagined Millington Coffin Workshops on Liverpool Street and discover a building beginning its next chapter.
Designed by Taylor and Hinds Architects, the former workshops have been given new life as a place for creativity, gathering and performance. For Open House Hobart, the building becomes the setting for something a little unexpected.
Begin at Scholé with a glass and a bite from acclaimed chef Luke Burgess, then let Second Echo Ensemble lead you deeper into the building.
One person at a time, you’ll be invited into a fleeting private performance: an aria sung just for you.
Part architecture tour, part tiny opera, part beautiful interruption, ARIA HOUR offers a glimpse of The Eternal River, Second Echo Ensemble’s new opera in development.
Come and explore a building finding a new purpose, meet architecture through performance, and experience the extraordinary intimacy of a voice, a space and an audience of one.
A building beginning its next life.
A voice.
An audience of one.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
