Willoughby, Exoskeleton Lift

The Exoskeleton Lift is at the former Willoughby Municipal Incinerator, located along Small Street, in the northern suburb of Willoughby. The polished stainless steel sculpture over a lift core was created by Richard Goodwin in 2011. The incinerator was built in 1934 but closed by the 1960s. In 1982 it became a restaurant and then in 1989 it was converted to office space. After it was damaged by fire, conservation works to restore the incinerator building began in 2008 with reuse as a community hall, artist studio and cafe.

  5. Interesting building housing a café. Plus being an artist studio. Total cool looking building. Hard to visualize it as an incinerator.
