Curio’s Approach
Our approach was to create a link between the past and the present by building intrigue, sparking interest, and encouraging the public to discover the stories of the building and its people within the wider narrative of South Eveleigh and its Workshops. Interpretation at the Work Managers’ Office takes shape in the form of life-size silhouettes, interpretive graphics, signage, and illustrations that come together to create a multi-layered storytelling experience.
The development of these detailed interpretive elements enable everyone from long-term users of the site to unsuspecting passers-by to understand the building’s historic role over time and what it can tell us about ‘money, time, and a crime’.

Legacy We Leave Behind
Through the development and installation of creative and unique heritage interpretation, the former Work Manager’s Office finds it’s voice amongst the iron and smoke of the State-significant Eveleigh Workshops.
