From Dilapidated Warehouse to Stunning Retail Showroom

Navigating through the existing conditions and the heritage council were the biggest challenges. However, we were able to pull the space back to its original integrity and apply the right mix to create an efficient working office plus showroom. It won a Design Institute of Australia (DIA) award with the judges making the following comments:

“Highly contemporary materials join the distinctive qualities that are inherent in aged materials, their differences in texture, reflection, colour and time meet to enhance each other. The designer has mastered constraints within this project with innovation including creating a new room with a shipping container. Thoughtful and subtle design moves have dealt with pre-existing structural elements to create simple, meaningful moments that in a lesser designer’s hands may well have become awkward obstacles.”
