Pumphouse Point in Hunting For George’s ‘On The Road’ Tasmania series

The next instalment of Hunting For George’s ‘On The Road’ Tasmania series turns its focus to Pumphouse Point at Lake St Clair, completing a trio of Cumulus Studio projects featured across the series.

Set within Tasmania’s central highlands, Pumphouse Point brings together the state’s industrial heritage and its evolving design culture. Originally constructed in the 1940s as part of a hydropower scheme, the five-storey pumphouse was never used for its intended purpose, before being decommissioned and later reimagined as a remote wilderness retreat.

The episode explores the broader Lake St Clair visitor experience, Cumulus' work in the Pumphouse featured alongside the recently completed Retreat wing by JAWS Architects, highlighting how new interventions can sit alongside and extend the legacy of an existing site.
