Penhale and Winter present a series of projects, including the Limestone Circle in collaboration with Kieran Murnane (2019). The project is a thick ring of limestone taking its position in Manjaree/ Authur Head where a significant rocky outcrop once extended. The horizontal composition gathers and binds the surrounding context, connecting the heritage limestone walls of the former Kerosene Store and Commissariat Building with the timeworn and quarried headland beyond. An existing concrete bench, marking the former location of a transit shed, interrupt the circle’s geometry, acting as a bridge and providing a crossover into the interior.
