Reimagining a Local Icon — Tamworth Regent Cinema
There’s something about this building.
It sparks curiosity and nostalgia — a reminder of what it once was and what it could be again. Though weathered and worn, it holds the kind of charm that only needs the right attention to shine once more. Every day, many of us drive past it thinking the same thing: this place could be something special for generations to come.
Our design team recently had a bit of fun exploring the possibilities — creating a series of concept renders that breathe new life into the building while staying true to its unique historic character and Art Deco features.
What if this space became a vibrant mixed-use precinct?
We’ve imagined:
> A rooftop restaurant with skyline views
> Boutique office spaces for local professionals
> Intimate performance and community venues
> A wine bar tucked inside the original architecture
> Hotel accommodation
> Thoughtfully developed green spaces
> Integrated underground parking
Scroll through the images above to see the journey — from the original building, to how it stands today, and finally, a glimpse of what it could be.
We’re not pitching a plan — we’re starting a conversation. What do you think this space could become?
