The refurbishment and extension of a late 1950s warehouse building, creating a modern workspace with retail at ground floor.  Significant rooftop extension, which has added floors to the existing building in exposed glulam frame with CLT slabs.

Key Features

• Site maximised with side and rooftop extensions to add ~60% internal floor area
• Maximised retention of existing structure to be celebrated as an exposed concrete finish
• Feature brick clad corner extension provides a new reception, lobby and multi-purpose arts space
• Lightweight timber framing solution to new floors limited the strengthening requirements of the existing building
