      Drill Hall Melbourne
      Working closely with the project architects and ICON Construction, Rakumba fabricated four oversized 10 metre long feature pendants to complement the restored Royal Melbourne Regiment Drill Hall in Melbourne's CBD. Rakumba fully detailed and documented the pendants as part of the fabrication process. Rakumba proposed a number of fabric alternatives prior to agreeing a custom fabric we imported especially from Europe to suit the architectural aesthetic.
