The Keystage blends a bench and a stage element into a piano-esque shape creating a space where people can relax and hang around or the space can be used for smaller-scale live music.

The bench includes a fully working Cajon to allow the public to immerse themselves in music. The construction of the bench blends the shapes and materials of the original Llewelyn Hall and the new Warrambul Hall.

The key stage serves as a middle ground between the “old” and the “new”. Fundamentally as a stage element, it is designed to be walked on in the same way Warrambul Hall is meant to be explored. The Lamp/Light is responsible for making the area safe and accessible 24/7 and lighting the footpaths and surrounds, helping to guide people around the area. Like the stage, the light blends the materials of both the halls.
