MPavilion is an ongoing initiative of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation and is supported by City of Melbourne, State Government of Victoria through Creative Victoria and Development Victoria, and ANZ.
In 2019, the sixth MPavilion was designed by Australian architect, Glenn Murcutt AO. Internationally influential, Glenn is the only Australian architect to receive the prestigious Pritzker Prize, awarded for his environmentally sensitive and responsible designs with a distinctly Australian character.
Inspired by Murcutt's memories of resting in the shade of a small airplane’s fabric-covered wing, Murcutt designed a steel-framed structure topped by a seemingly aeronautical white canopy roof.
Prioritising a view of the Yarra River and city skyline with weather-effective design elements, with large overhangs along the length of the pavilion sheltering occupants from the sun and rain while retractable blinds on the south west block the wind.
Kane is proud to have partnered with the Naomi Milgrom Foundation for the sixth year running; having delivered the very first MPavilion in 2014.
