Blacktown Animal Rehoming Center / Sam Crawford Architects
A new animal shelter attracts potential pet adopters | Bold color and a handful of six finger-like buildings connect to nature to create a safe and welcoming animal shelter that promotes pet adoption. Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC), located adjacent to the Western Sydney Parklands, was designed by Sam Crawford Architects (SCA), and is the largest building of its type in the Southern Hemisphere, housing up to 380 dogs and cats.
