Help us to uncover terrazzo in Western Australia!

As part of the Underneath/Overlooked exhibition, now touring regional Western Australia, artists Penny Bovell and Gabby Howlett, alongside the Scolaro family, are searching for terrazzo floors in homes and public spaces. We’re building a record of these beautiful, historic tiles that reflect WA’s design heritage.

Do you know of any terrazzo in your local area? Whether it’s in homes, civic buildings, or businesses, we’d love to hear from you! Your discovery could be part of this ongoing project celebrating WA’s rich architectural history.
